Simplicity-1468

You guys i have some cool news! For the last few months i’ve been working with Simplicity Patterns to license some of my designs through their brand. I’m really excited about this because it means being able to get my designs out to much a larger pool of sewers!

So far there are 2 maternity styles available: the Wrapped maternity top (Simplicity 1468) and the Perfect nursing & maternity top (Simplicity 1469). There will be another 2 maternity coming out in the next few months.

Even better, i took the opportunity to add a new variation to each pattern – a cropped crossover sweater in the Wrapped pattern and a dress in the Perfect nursing pattern. Awesome right?

Simplicity-1469

So if you’re pregnant or nursing and you’ve been missing having my patterns in print – you can now find my Wrapped maternity top (Simplicity 1468) and Perfect nursing & maternity top (Simplicity 1469) in sewing stores all over – including Hancock Fabrics, JoAnn Fabrics, Hobby Lobby and Walmart! If you prefer to buy them online you can get them on the Simplicity website here: Simplicity 1468 and Simplicity 1469.

Please excuse me as i go happy dance.

Woohoo, congrats!! You really deserve this after all your hard work, what a great opportunity. Plus it’s great for those who only buy patterns from Spotlight etc. to get exposure to a higher class of sewing pattern :)

Congrats, Megan! I wish I knew about your patterns when I was pregnant, they are so stylish. I also like the leggings with the nursing top.
Maybe I should buy the patterns anyway, I will have another baby at some point :)

Thanks Gracie! The leggings are a new design i’ve been working on – they’re going to have both a maternity rise, and a “standard” rise. I’m really excited about them :) XOXO
