Maternity skirt

I am 10 weeks pregnant with my second child. I gained 80 pounds with my son and I am trying desperately not to do that again, but I am not holding my breath ;-) With my ever increasing waist, hip, bust.. everything line.. I needed to start making some maternity clothes. Call me crazy, but I can never find maternity clothes that I like AND I do not like spending money on something that might last me a month or two. So, I made this skirt. I love it. I made it with a maternity band so as I progress in my pregnancy I can cover my belly up a tad more if need be.

I used this very easy pattern found here: Sew Mamma Sew and then I added a maternity band (a very stretchy knit) to the waistband.

  2. hey lora! this skirt is toooo cute. i'm in the same boat as you. never find maternity clothes that i really like. what would you charge for a similar skirt to this? i'm still having a hard time spending money on maternity clothes but it would be a little special something for mama! =)
