Reviews
This is the second Megan pattern I’ve made and it was a dream to sew up. The final garment turned out just like the picture and the finished measurements were exactly as stated. I was able to make it for my daughter who lives in another state and it fits her like a dream with plenty of room to grow into it. I can’t wait to make more.
I made a couple of these for my daughter and they've been her favourite maternity tops. I made a size L (shes a UK size 12). As you can see, they're still being worn at 36 weeks! A very straightforward sew with clear instructons - I enjoyed making these.
Great pattern. I'm waiting to see how it fits the mother-to-be before make a few more. I may experiment with adding elastic or powernet to the underbust band. Thank you.
Great pattern, nice and helpful instructions!
I absolutely loved making this maternity shirt and I cannot wait to make the dress. The only possible improvement would be clearer instructions on how to put the pattern together. That took longer than the actual sewing!
The pattern is clear and easy to follow. It fits really well.
I have reviewed the instructions and assembled the pdf. All has been good at this point. I emailed a fabric question and got a helpful, detailed response. Looking forward to making the dress.
