Maternity sewing pattern recommendations please.

I am hoping that someone may have some maternity sewing patterns that they could recommend, I have Anna Maria Horners Handmade Beginnings but I am finding it hard to find anything else.... Anyone?

The best patterns I've found for tops are both Jalie patterns (2787 and 2788)... I think it's a Canadian company, and I've never seen then on sale here, but they've been by far the best fit for me so far. I've made 2 different maternity/nursing tops, both were pretty easy and fit beautifully, and even better, the range of sizes in a single pattern is HUGE - ie, from little girl to really plus size ladies. I made all of mine long-sleeved, as my pregnancy has been mostly through winter, but there's a nice range of sleeve patterns to choose from as well. I ordered my patterns online, and got them in about 10 days.

I haven't bought any of Megan Nielson's patterns, but I've tried several of her free ones, and found the fit was... not ideal for me, despite how good they looked online.

I've also drafted my own pattern for a really simple skirt, based on one that I already own, and put a scoop cut out in the front which I replaced with heavy ribbing, and a wide ribbed waist band on them... both the skirts I made hold up over my 37 week belly far better than my shop bought jeans do.

Google DIY maternity. Awesome blog, stacks of patterns.

I have mostly drafted my own. Dodgy. The items have turned out accordingly
