Recommended fabrics

For sewing the Barney maternity pants, we recommend choosing a dense knit fabric with Lycra for the main material.

– Ideal choices include 2-thread French terry. If you prefer a warmer version of the pants, use a thicker knit fabric, such as 3-thread French terry, either looped or brushed.

– If you decide to use a warmer type of knit fabric like brushed French terry as the main fabric, we recommend using rib knit or 2-thread French terry with Lycra in the same color as the main fabric for the waistband. The required fabric for the waistband for all sizes will be 0.2 meters with a fabric width of 1.8 meters.

– For the belly insert, it is better to use a more stretchy type of knit fabric such as rib knit or jersey. The knit should be dense, stretch well, and recover its shape after stretching.
