Belly bands are a popular maternity accessory. A wide strip of knit fabric, they’re layered underneath a t-shirt to add extra length. Kate from See Kate Sew shows how to make a ruffled belly band. The ruffle around the bottom is a nice touch and makes it look more like an intentional layering. Though it’s intended for maternity wear, I think I might make one up for myself to cover that unattractive space that seems to open up between the bottom of a t-shirt and the top of a pair of low waisted pants. Get the tute.
