* the first thing you need is a skirt (or pants, it will work with either) that has a little extra room (and one you don't mind cutting up). If you are using a denim skirt with a zipper, you will have to cut the zipper out and sew the fly/flap closed. You will also be cutting the waist band off all the skirts you are using. If you cannot pull a skirt up without unzipping it first, it won't work.
*the other thing you need is a stretchy tank top or shirt, preferably spandex. I bought this black one at Ross for $4.99 and they are usually one size and stretch great.
*first thing to do is cut the waist band off the skirt. I posted a picture of a stretchy black skirt that I am making for my sister.
*next, cut the tank in 2 pieces. I like to have a lot of the bottom piece to add to my skirt because in the early days of pregnancy I folded it down under my belly and it just looks like you are layering, and in later stages (big belly!), I liked to pull it up over. It's really up to you how much you use.
*after you have cut the waistband off your skirt, and you have the piece of tank to add, sew the 2 cut ends together (skirt and tank). Make sure to stretch the tank as you go or you won't have enough material! You will end up with a maternity skirt!
Make sure you reinforce your stitches well because if you are like me, you will be wearing these all the time and you don't want the seam to start coming apart. If you have any questions shoot me and email! Megandawnette@gmail.com
