When I designed my Poppy Tunic pattern I wasn't intending it for maternity wear. The tunic is quite slim-fitting and I couldn't imagine it accommodating a big belly. During the week, I was sifting through my Make It Perfect samples and came across some Poppy Tunics I sewed for the cover photo shoot. These tunics are a size bigger than I would usually sew for myself when I'm not pregnant so I thought I'd try them on and see how they fit me now.
So if you're expecting, or plan to have a baby in the near future and are wanting to sew yourself up some comfy clothes to wear, give the Poppy Tunic a try! And keep an eye out here for a brand new "maternity-friendly" pattern coming up in the next few weeks...fun, I'm loving it!

Oh so cute! You look fab!
I wear my Poppy tunic often and I'm 32 weeks pregnant. It was a happy accident that I made mine a size too big well before I was pregnant. I didn't care, I still wore it pre-baby belly! It's beginning to get a wee bit tight now because my baby's all out the front.
I'm excited about a new maternity pattern. Hopefully it'll come out while I still have a chance to make and wear it!
Nice skirt from 2003 :) and pretty poppy tunic too
