An AWWT (Almost Without Words Tutorial)
I've put in many elastic waist bands for me and especially when I made clothes for my girls when they were little ones.
Here are SHOTS of my favorite way to put in an elastic waist band, because it uses the least steps. I used a serger, but you could use a zigzag or a stretch stitch.
This was done on knit fabric, but I have used it on woven cotton type fabrics. enJOY!
I have never tried this method. I'll give it a go when I next sew a waistband. Hope you don't mind, but I'm pinning for future reference.
ReplyDeleteI'm honored anytime anyone enJOYs my posts enough to PIN them. I'm trying to think of other methods I use that go against pattern directions that are faster & easier.
