Tutorial: Removing a gap at the back of jeans

July 18, 2009 by Anne Weaver

buttfitIf your jeans have a little gap at the back of the waist, then you, my girl, are built with curves that your jeans just can’t handle.  I know, cause I’m built with them, too. 

Rian from Presser Foot shows how you can alter the jeans at the waist to remove the gap, just in case you don’t want the whole world to be able to look down your pants and see your undies.  The tutorial is provided in two parts: Part 1 covers the demolition (ripping out the seams), and Part 2 shows how to put them back together with a perfect fit.

Link to Part 1.  Link to Part 2.

Sewing Pattern – Paper Bag Pants Pattern

The paper bag pants pattern is a favorite of casual chic dressers. It is a super easy project perfect for sewing over the weekend. If you pair it with a cardigan and booties, vans shoes or sandals it is sure to become your favorite outfit when you are hoping to look cool but not overdressed.

Two pockets in the front will ensure you can carry a few things like your phone and wallet.

The elastic waistband gives you room for a curvy bum or gives shape to a flat one. Two pockets in the front and a belted waistband to tie your pants around your waist, tapered legs that fall just above your ankles round up this very comfortable design.
