Maternity Bess Top Pattern Review and Giveaway

So I found another awesome shirt pattern! I was really excited when I was invited to be a part of Imagine Gnats pattern tour, I’ve been wanting to try out the cute Bess Top pattern since I’ve seen peoples versions of the shirt circulating on Instagram. But I was even more excited when I sewed up the shirt and tried it on.

Not only is it a SUPER quick and easy sew, I really love the fit. I did not alter the pattern at all to make it Toasty (prego) friendly. All I did was make the front piece out of a knit. This pattern is made to be used with woven (non-stretchy) fabrics but I’m just a rebel like that.

It comes in three lengths: shirt, tunic, and dress. I made the tunic since I figured that it would easily cover my bump now and then it would be just a normal tunic after Toasty comes.

Also I LOOOOOVE that it has two necklines. Really why don’t more patterns do this? Rachael is a genius that must be it. PS you know you love my startle face. PSS did you notice the new white walls? SOOOOO much better that the old yellow!

But back to the pattern, if you want to join me in “Sewing Our Stash” and making more wearables for yourself this is a great pattern to add to your collection. There are only a few steps so it comes together very fast. And I just love how unique a design it is. Simple but with cool details. I will definitely be making more.
