My Floral Cotton Maternity Tunic

... and my "One Pattern, Many Looks" contest entry.

Here we go, the third and final maternity tunic from the previous pattern.


Another picture.

I use lightweight cotton, with big floral print. 
Love the print, and i love sewing cotton, because it was easier than the previous two tunic fabrics.

Like i mention before, i really love this pattern. And this is among my favourite maternity wear. Read my pattern review. Now i have three of them, and i think its perfect for my "One Pattern, Many Looks" contest entry. Wish me luck! 



Pregnancy update: I am currently about 30 weeks pregnant. Getting heavier and more tired each day. I know i should be resting, and just get through this third trimester smoothly. But being a first time mother, i am so overwhelmed with baby preparation. Not to mention the workload at the office, so much to be settled before i'm leaving for my 3 months maternity leave. I am constantly hungry. My pelvic bone is so painful sometimes, i can barely walk. I really cant stand the tropical heat, during day and night. My tummy feels so full, i got indigestion and heartburn now and then. I cant wait for the baby to come, so all this will be over, and i can meet my precious baby. But at the same time, i want to freeze the time, i feel i wasnt ready with the preparation and everything. Hope everything going to be OK.

Alviana!
This is my favourite tunic of all the 3 you have made, you look really pretty in it! Absolutely adore your tunic. Where did you get the cloth, it's really nice.

don't worry, the 3rd trimester is like this. Do enjoy it because after you have delivered you would actually miss the times when your baby is in your belly, what I miss most about pregnancy are the baby kicks! my little girl used to hiccup at least once a day in my tummy too, funny!

A very pretty version! All three are lovely and you must feel so proud wearing these. Hope you have plenty of happy things to think about everyday during this period so that the discomforts are forgotten.

Good luck for the contest!

Oh, yes! Beautiful gown, I also love the printing of the fabric, so cool and fun ... Good luck in the contest!
I remember the same mixed feelings when I was expecting my first baby .... however, when the baby comes ... all is forgotten ..
