Maternity Pants & Belly Bands

Hi everyone, it's been a while! I realised that I haven't done any sewing at all since I was 6 weeks pregnant, and now I'm 15 weeks. Eeek! So I pulled out some supplies, and made a few simple maternity things today. 


This is the first pair of pants that I made. They look a bit funny because I had to cut a lot of the top of the pants off (the seams in the butt were starting to split!), but you don't even notice if I wear a tunic top over them. 


These are my favourite ones! I made a jumpsuit that wasn't fitting properly before I was pregnant into a pair of awesome maternity pants. 


I also tried making a few large scrap pieces of fabric into belly bands using this tutorial. I don't know how well they work yet, because I haven't had a chance to see if they hold my pre-preggo pants up properly but they were fun to make anyway.  Feel free to visit my blog if you'd like to see some more pics & details of what I did!

God bless knit waistbands for pregnant bellies (says the 39-week pregnant editor). I'm sure these pants and bands will hold you in good stead. Congrats! -Seeks, EOD
