Instructions
Step 1
For a woman in an interesting position, all volumes remain almost the same, the only thing that changes dramatically is the tummy. When changing jeans for a pregnant woman, this must be taken into account. If the lady's hips have slightly recovered, then this part of the trousers can also be made larger by stitching braid or strips of leather along the entire side seam on the right and left.
Step 2
Place the jeans on a table with the front facing up. Take the ripper and open the zipper. You can do this with a blunt razor blade, but be extremely careful not to get hurt. If you do not plan to use this zipper in the future, then back up only its bottom.
Step 3
Pull on the thread with which the belt is sewn, it will not be needed either. Open the side seam of the legs that runs from the waist to the beginning of the hips.
Step 4
Take a crayon, draw a straight line. It should run over the front of the pants and be 2-4 centimeters above the bottom of the zipper. That's why it was required to rip it up.
Step 5
Take a pair of scissors, cut off the front top of the pants along the chalk line. To prevent maternity jeans from pressing on your belly, use a piece of knit or other stretch fabric that stretches well.
Step 6
Put on a blank of trousers. Take a centimeter. Start at the side seam of the back of the garment at the thighs. It should be in line with the navel. Hold the beginning of the centimeter with your left hand, which lies on the side of the pants. With your right hand, throw it over your belly along the navel line. Place the other end of the tape at the intersection of this horizontal line with your right thigh.
Step 7
Write down the value obtained. This will be the width of the knitted fabric. Also determine its height with a centimeter. Place the zero tape mark in the middle of your belly, where you want the top of your pants to go. Pull the tape down, measure the distance to the front of the jeans (where the fabric is cut).
Step 8
Measure the knitted fabric according to your measurements. Leave one centimeter for the side seams, the same for the bottom and top.
Step 9
Cut out the fabric and sew it to the front top of the jeans. Fill in a few soft folds on the sides and bottom.
Step 10
Measure your waist. Add 5 cm to this value. Cut the ribbon out of the knitted fabric. Its length is equal to the value obtained. Width - 8 cm.
Step 11
Sew on the belt. To do this, fold the right sides of the knitted fabric and the top of the ribbon. Sew. Fold half of the tape to the wrong side, sew this part with a needle on your hands to the knit base with a blind stitch. Leave a small gap on the side. Thread the elastic through it with a pin. Sew the ends of the elastic, iron the seams, and flaunt your new jeans.
