Tutorial: Faux layering belly band with a button up shirt hem

These belly bands are made for maternity, but I think I need them for my non-pregnant self.  I work part-time at our library and there’s a lot of bending and stooping, which can be bad if your shirt isn’t long enough.  These stretch knit bands are worn around your tummy and have regular button-shirt hems sewn to the bottom.  The long shirt hems add length to a top or sweater while looking like perfectly layered separates.  Brilliant! Heather from Feather’s Flights shares a tutorial at DIY Maternity showing how to make them.
