Sew a maternity belly band

February 3, 2009 by Anne Weaver

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.

    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.
