Yes, this is my favorite Skirt! But having done the silly rubber band trick for so long, I just decided to make this into a permanent Maternity Skirt :) Now remember that the material you insert needs to be stretchy...like knit or even an stretchy yet soft TShirt.
Start by laying your skirt down, waist towards you and round out the front piece my eyeballing half an oval as deep as the zipper.
Now put your Stretchy Fabric in place and even out with pins. Also Fold over the top twice to make a hem for a waistband.
Sewn in Place! After that is done, trim both the outside and inside for nice clean edges.
And there you have it! A Maternity Panel!
I'm going to do this for my daughter! Thank you.
