Thing 14 & 15 - maternity wrap top

I am counting this Thing as two Things because it took me so long and I went well over the 20 minute - 1 hour time limit :)

maternitywrap

This is a maternity wrap top.  I have never worked with stretchy knit material or made a shirt before, so I’m very proud of how it turned out.  Especially since I did this without a pattern.  I, um, borrowed, the idea from Isabella Oliver’s maternity wrap tops, which retail for $130.   My version cost me a whopping $3.  There are several small issues with this one, like it could use a few more feet of material so I could get a nice tie in there, but for a savings of $127, I’m very pleased!

  • I was wandering around the links from zefrank.com, and I had to comment when I saw this top! It’s absolutely gorgeous! Besides being heck of a lot cheaper, I actually like the look of your version much better than original wrap tops. Lovely, and very impressive! :]

  • That’s beautiful! You SHOULD be proud!

  • MAJOR cool points for you!

  • Really, really cute! Where was this when I was pregnant?

  • Brilliant! It looks very pretty on you.
