Let’s face it. Maternity pants are more about function than style, and that’s especially true of the elastic band. It’s gotta be there. It’s gotta stretch. But does it have to be ugly? Christy from Christy’s Creations doesn’t think so. She created a tutorial to make your own belly band to hide that ugly stretch panel.

30 Jumpsuits You Can Sew Yourself – From Effortless Weekend Wear to Showstopping Styles

Let’s talk about the magic of jumpsuits.
One piece. Endless style. Zero outfit math.
Whether you’re living in your sewing studio or just dipping your toes into garment-making, there’s a jumpsuit pattern out there with your name on it. Think about it:
• Instant outfit (no more staring at your closet at 8am)
• Comfort that looks chic (secret pajama vibes, but make it fashion)
• Custom-fit perfection (goodbye gaping backs and too-long straps!)
But here’s the problem – store-bought jumpsuits never seem to get it quite right. The waist hits at the wrong spot. The straps dig in. The fabric feels cheap.
That’s why we’ve hunted down 30 incredible jumpsuit patterns – from easy-breezy weekend rompers to sleek, tailored styles that’ll make you feel like a fashion designer. And the best part? Many of these are absolutely FREE.
Whether you’re a beginner looking for a quick win or an advanced sewist ready for a challenge, this roundup has your next favorite project. Let’s find your perfect match!

I love this I’m having my 3rd baby and everytime I worry about my shirt being to short and showing the ugly belly panel and all the maternity pants fall down on me when I walk it’s so frustrating, I can’t wait to make my own cause there is no way I spending full price on those stupid ingrid and isabel ones. Thank you.
I have made a belly band for myself during my previous pregnancies but this time I am having twins and gonna need a lot of extra room. These homemade belly bands give you the option of choicing which colors you would like to make yourself.
