Pattern: Megan Nielsen's Rie Dress and Top

Materials Used: Brown mystery knit from my stash (just as a hint I found out that if I folded my fabric differently I was able to use a lot less yardage than recommended - although it may be harder in larger sizes to do so).

Sizing: I made a size S although I think because my knit was really lightweight and stretchy (much more stretch than the 20% recommended) I could have gotten away with an XS.

Changes Made: I ended up taking about an inch out of each sleeve and the chest area. I also shortened the dress length by about 3 inches to make it more of a tunic.

Conclusion: Super fast (about 2 hours total) and easy. I am at the end of my pregnancy so I wasn't planning on making any more maternity wear, but this was so fast, plus I used stash fabric so there is no guilt with it. It feels like I am wearing a nightgown which pretty much means I will be wearing it everyday. Another stellar Megan Nielsen pattern. Love her.

	slmstyle said... Congrats New Mom! You look so cute in this and it is perfect for the last days of pregnancy (not that I know, but hope to someday ;) I love this on you and hope to see more, if not baby clothes, then New Mom fashions. Best of Luck -Stephanie 1/18/13 10:34 PM
