Jeans are already hard enough for me, let alone adding an ever expanding baby bump to the equation. For 6 months Ive been able to get away with body con dresses (when I'm not in oversized nighties or mother Hubbard dresses), but this cooler weather + the energy I've got back now that I'm in my third trimester, means legs free for striding. I searched for maternity jeans online and stores I could find down the Peninsula way, but all were more shabby than chic = DIY
These are a pair of my old favourites that I whipped up. Converting them was a simple as overlocking the top of the pockets out (incl waistband) and stitching in some good quality elastic banding. et te voilà !![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWNiWjJp0DljlcGIGKluOtaCKf0IbwDyUrW8qNxfyUeIMt2abpkr0QmG3utLY5fuAbKS75_6wnxZTvYErx2Lz9M_Dvd-1iY-qwyf957VhPYcRjtV3-nU7SSDQiBS2ZDnrE631faQh_J1U/s1600/diy.jpg)
