Maternity skirt

I made up a maternity skirt last week out of some on-sale cotton from Jo-Ann's. I didn't have a pattern, but I used these instructions as a loose guide. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to add the elastic and knit band onto the cotton skirt. I anticipate making some more!

At 22 weeks, I really cannot fit into anything non-maternity anymore. This has alerted me to the fact that cute maternity patterns are very tough to find. A quick search of the "Big 4" pattern websites reveal about three or four patterns per brand, mostly out-of-print, and all a little bit "blah" style-wise. I have some ideas for my own designs, which hopefully I will be able to sew up without too much drafting trouble. In the meantime, Goodwill has yielded a few cute tops, so I am getting by! :-)
