Maternity Pants

So, this second pregnancy has been a bit different. My clothes are not fitting well and I'm only 15 weeks along. I decided to attempt to make some maternity pants from this tutorial. I took two pairs of jeans that I haven't worn since Dan and I were dating (I was skinner back then). The first pair I did were already low-rise and when I followed the tutorial to cut below the zipper I wished I had not cut that low. On the second pair I cut mid zipper and liked how they fit better. Also, the first pair I didn't make the waist band tight enough, it's a bit lose. I'll be ripping that band out and re-doing it. Overall I'm very please with my homemade cheap maternity jeans. Comfy. I also did 12 inch bands folded in half. I might make the band 14 inches next time. It really just depends on the jeans and where they fit to begin with around the waist/hip area.

You are amazing! I can't wait to see them on you - come on belly! (I know exactly what you mean, my belly popped at 8 weeks with Katelyn!)

Impressive. I may have to try making those next time.
