Maternity shorts are useful and comfortable clothing for women who have been expecting a child for several months. Such a simple thing is very expensive in stores, because the product is specific (needed only by pregnant women), it is useful only for a while, and in ordinary shorts, it is completely uncomfortable with a stomach, and the elastic band presses on the stomach. But many mothers have already found a solution! The most economical option was to sew it yourself. Mothers sew themselves or ask their relatives for help. High-quality clothes for pregnant women bring comfort, because nothing puts pressure on the mother’s belly and does not harm the baby. If you also want to save money on such clothes, then we present to you a method of making and decorating shorts for pregnant women yourself...
How to sew maternity shorts yourself
Of course, you can sew clothes for a pregnant woman yourself. You don't need to have any special sewing skills. In ordinary shorts, a strong, non-stretchable fabric is sewn into the waistband, and this is what causes harm by pressing on the stomach.For sewing, you will need shorts that fit perfectly on the hips, but do not stretch and put pressure on the stomach. It is advisable to take it with a wide clothesline. You will have to insert new material, preferably with a loose tension. A wide belt with a weak tension will distribute the pressure of the new elastic band evenly, and it will be more comfortable to “sit” on the wearer.
To do this, you need to carefully trim with scissors the location of the elastic that is installed in the shorts. Then pull out the old tension band and insert a new, more stretchable one.
If necessary, you can trim the front part to the desired protrusion of the abdomen and then just thread the wide elastic band. Clothes made correctly will fit perfectly, will not fall off and will not put pressure on your stomach.

Although shorts are now comfortable, I also want to look beautiful in them. You also need to work hard for this. Take some unnecessary beautiful lace material. Carefully trim the most beautiful and voluminous lace shapes, preferably matching the color of the shorts. It is important to take threads identical to the texture of the lace so that it does not appear that the inserts were sewn on yourself. Attach two symmetrical shapes to the back or front. Sew them exactly along the edge so that the shapes don’t come off and you don’t have to do it all over again! Beautifully executed manipulations will create a wonderful item of clothing suitable even for going out in public.
The most remarkable feature of making these shorts yourself is the fact that you can insert a wide variety of elements in a wide variety of patterns and shapes. It all depends on your imagination!
How to sew shorts with a bodice
An excellent addition to clothing would be a corsage for a pregnant woman.But it will be a little difficult to do, but don’t be afraid to fold your arms! The corsage is a beautiful dress that hugs the chest, back and sides, but does not tighten the woman’s usual figure. But when carrying a child, the figure no longer becomes normal. My stomach won't allow me to wear this type of clothing normally, so I'll have to start sewing again. To sew a corsage, the following are measured: lower waist, chest waist, height from neck to waist.
According to the measurements taken, the following are cut out of unnecessary material: two cutouts for the sides, a front part with a protrusion for the chest, and a piece of fabric for the back. Sew the parts of the bodice evenly (don’t forget about identical threads!), making small seams, gradually move on to other parts (it’s better to sew inside out!). When done well, you have the perfect addition to your maternity shorts. And most importantly, the clothes do not cause discomfort. We wish you success!
