You can use darts to narrow the required width at the seat towards the waistband. It&#8217;s not rocket science, but you should work carefully to achieve a beautiful result. In the following step-by-step instructions, I explain how to do this using video and illustrated text instructions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/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.

Depending on the model and figure, this may be one or two darts. When cutting out the back trouser pieces according to the pattern, you should transfer the notches to the fabric as short incisions. There are 2 notches for each dart at the waist edge. These are precisely aligned with the dart legs.<\/p>\n<p>To transfer the dart point to the fabric, I place the pattern with the same edges on the pair of back pants fabric and pierce the point with a pin through the paper and the two layers of fabric.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;70px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2695&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]Then I carefully pull the fabric layers apart and mark the dart point on the wrong side of the fabric at the point where the needle goes through.

These are knotted two to three times and can then be cut back to a length of 1-2 cm. This prevents an unsightly bulge from forming at the tip of the waist dart due to forward and backward stitches.<\/p>\n<p>The finished darts are then ironed over from the wrong side of the fabric towards the center back.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Below you will find a selection of links to further steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/smartpattern.de\/en\/instructions\/preparing-trousers-with-waistband-for-fitting-f02\/\">Preparing to try on the trousers #F02<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/smartpattern.de\/en\/instructions\/sew-french-front-trouser-pockets-tv01\/\">Sew french front trouser pockets #TV01<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/smartpattern.de\/en\/instructions\/sew-patch-pockets-on-trousers-th01\/\">Sew patch pocket on trousers #TH01<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/smartpattern.de\/en\/instructions\/sew-double-welt-pockets-into-trousers-th02\/\">Sew double welt pockets into trousers #TH02<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/smartpattern.de\/en\/instructions\/sew-welt-pockets-into-trousers-th03\/\">Sew welt pockets into trousers #TH03<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are not quite ready yet and want to start at the beginning, you can find some links here:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/smartpattern.de\/en\/instructions\/preparing-the-sewing-pattern-for-cutting\/\">Preparing the pattern for cutting<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/smartpattern.de\/en\/instructions\/the-cutting-of-fabrics-and-materials\/\">Cutting fabrics and materials<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":2698,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[539,579,396,540,538,398],"tags":[385,590],"class_list":["post-9960","anleitungen","type-anleitungen","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chino-en","category-dart","category-instructions","category-marlene-en","category-sewing","category-trousers","tag-diy-en","tag-download-schnittmuster-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
