For this reason, our patterns include wider seam allowances which can be used to adjust if necessary. To get a realistic impression of how the finished trousers will fit, it is important to sew on the waistband to try them on. This is especially necessary for the shaped waistband, as the circumference at the bottom edge is much larger than at the top edge. Since the trousers will be taken apart again after fitting, I will sew the pieces together with a long machine stitch and barely secure them. However, you can also baste the seams by hand, which is particularly recommended for delicate fabrics. Enjoy preparing your trousers for fitting![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>Video instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The video instructions are currently only available in German.

I will replace the inner waistband and make it from the same material as my pocket bags, instead of using the main fabric. This is a nice detail and you can better distinguish between the inside and outside of the waistband in the instructions. With a pattern that is intended for elastic material, make sure that the material on the inside has similar stretch properties to the main fabric. If you have chosen a pattern that is designed for non-stretch fabrc, but you are using a stretchy fabric, fix the waistband so that it does not stretch out and the trousers will not slip down as a result.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Close_the_seat_seam\"><\/span>2.

The beginning and end are not backstitched, as a short piece has to be undone again later, depending on how the corners are worked.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6190&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]With a shaped waistband, I cut the seam allowance at the top edge of the waistband several times to release the tension when turning the waistband right side out. To minimize the visibility of the incisions, I offset the incisions at the top and bottom layer.<\/p>\n<p>You can skip this step if you have opted for a straight waistband.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6180&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]Next, I press the seam allowances open at the top edge of the waistband.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6176&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]Then I turn the waistband, wrong sides facing, and press the seam flat from the inside. I make sure that it lies slightly toward the insiede of the wasitband so it is not visible from the outside.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6178&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]I transfer the notches for the center back, the side seam and the center front to the outside of the waistband if I haven&#8217;t already done when cutting.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6261&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]Now it&#8217;s a good point to check whether the waistband length still matches the pattern.

You should take the photos as straight as possible &#8211; i.e. not at an angle from above or below.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure that the waistband is at the right hight. As there is still no button to close the trousers properly, they can easily be pulled up a little too high or too low. To check this, you can measure the side length from the floor to the top edge of the waistband (see marking) and compare it with the side length you entered in the configurator.<\/li>\n<li>If the waistband sits at the right hight but is still too tight or too wide, compare the measurement you entered when configuring with the circumference measurement at the point where your waistband sits now.<\/li>\n<li>If the trousers seem a little too wide at the hips, remember that there will be pockets, which &#8211; depending on the thickness of the fabric &#8211; will also need a little space. It is best to try the trousers on again before sewing the waistband on the inside of the trousers.<\/li>\n<li>The tighter the fit you have chosen and the less stretchy your fabric is, the more likely it is that the trousers will wrinkle at the back of the legs. This is because the trousers have an extra length at the back which you need to sit down comfortably.<\/li>\n<li>Wrinkles sometimes look worse in photos than they really are. Be sure to take another look in the mirror to see what it really looks like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you still have problems with the fit, please send me an <a href=\"mailto:hallo@smartpattern.de\">e-mail<\/a> with pictures of how the trousers look when worn (see above) and I&#8217;ll try to help.
