Negative sentence in past continuous tense very easy to create from corresponding positive sentence.

Positive sentence structure is 

Doer of action	verb + ઈ(I)	Form of રહેવું  (“rahevuM”)	Form of હોવું  (“hovuM”) as in Past Tense
અમે (ame)	કરી (karI)	રહ્યાં(rahyAM)	હતાં(hatAM)

In negative sentence, we use negative form of હોવું (“hovuM”). 

Doer of action	verb + ઈ(I)	Form of રહેવું  (“rahevuM”)	NEGATIVE Form of હોવું  (“hovuM”) as in Past  Tense
અમે (ame)	કરી (karI)	રહ્યાં(rahyAM)	નહોતાં(nahotAM)
