Nice looking stylish maternity patterns and maternity clothing are usually very hard to find - especially if you're not an "average" size.   Petite maternity clothing or plus size maternity clothing are very difficult to match the size you really need.  Even if the size is available, how many different "styles" of maternity clothes are available?  Pregnant women usually have very little to choose from.  Maternity evening gowns, maternity bridal gowns and maternity wedding gowns are also extremely hard to find.

In addition, trying to find "under the belly" maternity panties to go along with the under the belly maternity garments, are practically non-existent, or extremely expensive.

The goal of "Make Maternity Clothes and Make Maternity Patterns" is to help each of you to have a wide variety of maternity garments in your wardrobe, that are made to fit YOUR figure, regardless of whether you are tall, short, heavy, thin, or anywhere in between.

D Foster writes - "The 'Converting Store Bought Patterns into Maternity Styles' is absolutely fantastic!  I haven't spent ANY money on maternity patterns, yet by converting the patterns I already had, I have a closet full of maternity outfits - all of which fit me perfectly!  Thank you so much for writing this class!"

Each of the online classes listed is designed to let you use patterns that you already have in your sewing room, and gives complete step by step instructions for changing "basic" patterns into a whole wardrobe of maternity garments -- all without buying a single maternity pattern!!

You'll learn how to make a variety of maternity blouses, dresses and the ever so popular "under the belly" shorts, skirts and slacks, and we've even included a super easy panties pattern with instructions for adapting it for "under the belly" panties to wear with the shorts and slacks in the "Converting Store Bought Patterns into Maternity Styles".  

Other classes available include ones that teach you how to make 8 different necklines from one basic "store bought pattern" round neck; another takes one basic "store bought sleeve pattern" and shows you how to make 10 different sleeve styles from it; others cover how to make collars and how to make darts fit as they should.   And don't forget the FREE SEWING CLASSES - there will be good information in them for you also.
