A couple of weeks ago I made myself a new top from the free Pretty Blouse pattern. It is a cute little peasant style top that I thought would accommodate my growing belly. It can be found on the Sew Mama Sew website, and is made available by Amanda of The Modern Marigold.
I used a poplin fabric that I purchased from fabric.com. The fabric itself has a vintage linen feel to it, but paired with the piping along the front yoke, and the trim around the neck, I feel like I'm wearing my mother's maternity top-which isn't all bad.
The top is light and airy, perfect for summer. I also added a keyhole opening with button closure to the back, but I failed to get a decent shot, so you can just use your imagination.
I apologize for the lack of quality photos. I've put off writing this post because I've been hoping to have my husband help me with the photos, but unfortunately I'm still dealing with camera issues, and these will just have to do.
So whether you're pregnant or not, the pretty blouse is a great summer top to add to your wardrobe.
Thanks for reading. I have lots of new projects to share with you....just trying to resolve my technical issues.
