How to Make Maternity Jeans Using Regular Jeans and a T-shirt

Step 11: All done!

Finished upcycled maternity jeans. I plan to pull this shirt up over my belly as I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy, but this is how it looks folded underneath. (Note that if I wanted to keep it down most of the time, I should have sewed on the shirt inside out).

Be creative! You can use this technique with slacks and skirts as well.

Thank you so much!!!
I really did not want to go buy new jeans (maybe one pair, but I have some old ones that need some TLC anyway!
Great tutorial!
Plus, I never find any good maternity slacks-so I'll probably try the slacks first
2 thumbs up, 10 stars! all that :)

I am super excited to try this! Thanks for your tutorial. My only question is do you have trouble with the ziper coming undone? You sew across it correct? How do you do this without breaking your needle? Thanks!

The zipper does not come undone because you cut off the pull. The rest stays in place because at that point it's sewn closed. I lifted my needle at the metal part of the zipper and skipped that 1/4". Good luck!
