![The Split Side, Adjustable Waist, Giant Pockets Skirt Tutorial! [Part 1]](/img/1.gif)
Very cute. The kangaroo pouch needs to make a grand comeback
As someone who has been pregnant twice during the colder months, I found it was easiest to just add warm layers to otherwise too cold items. Buy a pair of fleece lined maternity leggings to wear under dresses, skirts etc and use cardigans that can be worn open on top that way you could still do your summer ideas but not freeze. Also folding a sweater so it is worn cropped with high waisted maternity bottoms is another way to wear the sweater if it fits on top but not over the bump. Another thing you could consider doing is summer dress ideas but just in winter fabrics. Flannel is warm but not much heavier than quilting cotton, so it might work for certain ideas (obviously some swaps simply won't work)
The kangaroo skirt is a brilliant idea!!! I've seen some skirts that use a firmer material in a pencil skirt, but the kangaroo pouch area has a stretch fabric sewn in to it, so you get coverage and warmth, but your bump can grow.
Oh, so cute. My first baby is a year old now but I wish I saw this when I was still pregnant. Love the content Lucy, I have been watching since we were both teens. Long time ago now 😂.
I made this style skirt in the 80's. The Big 4 sold patterns for skirts and pants made this way, and inserts made especially for use in this type of design were sold in fabric stores. I loved the skirts because I was able to have a sleek(er) silhouette.
I really enjoy that you always share your thought process and all the problem solving one encounters while sewing 😊 I was pregnant mostly during summer so I never really thought about the clothing issues in winter, but you are solving it brilliantly 🤗
Cute skirts. You won’t believe how big a belly can get. Wish you a healthy safe delivery.
So pretty! I was pregnant in the summertime and enjoyed wearing all the summery dresses! It is so inspiring to see how you are making cute winter outfits.
Believe me, that belly will get bigger haha! My baby is 4 weeks tomorrow, and especially the last trimester of pregnancy I felt like my belly grew each day!
Cute skirts. Well done. I wonder if a dart on either side of the back seam might have also been an option. Perhaps distributing the dart would change how the fabric lays.
I was pregnant four times over the winter period. Granted, the temperatures on the South African Highveld are not a low as in Europe but I was able to dress warmly and economically at home and in a medical professional job (in the times before scrubs were worn). My handmade capsule wardrobe consisted of pants, skirts (with stretch panel instead of a kangaroo pouch) and two pinafores. I wore blouses (and my husband's button-up shirts) under the pinafores and left buttons open as my bump grew. Wore shirts, blouses and sweaters over the skirt/pants. My husband's white button up shirts worked very well as the body is looser than my blouses. Teamed with a scarf it worked as a very professional look (appropriate stockings and shoes). Leggings were not fashionable nor freely available those years.
You could use a draw string for the waist instead of elastic. I have a small waist and large hips.. adding a draw string to the waist of pants and skirts has been a game changer and doesn't add bulk.
Congrats, this looks amazing ! I hope you have the happiest pregnancy !
Such a good idea. I'm a little earlier in my pregnancy than you and your maternity projects are giving me so much inspiration
My mother wore those Types of skirts in the 50s during her pregnancies. You may want to think about allowing for the growth of your hips, too. They make pregnancy panels to sew in your skirts too.
Check out "The Stitchery" you tube videos on split side skirts. Might be your answer for a maternity circle skirt.
I wish I had the chance to make myself clothes in pregnancy…nice maternity clothes were so hard to find! But, it is what it is now; no more babies now :) I am happy for what you can make for yourself! 😊 lovely skirts! 😀
You can add a knit fabric or even thermal one into the kangaroo pouch area as in modern maternity clothing and don`t worry about the length of your sweater. Anyway, you look adorable in both skirts.
Any time I see Dutch people (Nederlanders ) having children I get encouraged because they do not often want children , "too expensive " ,they say . I give twee thumbs up ! Doei !
Seeing you this happy makes me so happy, as well! ❤️❤️❤️
