This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Sewing With Knits: 5 Wardrobe Essentials »

Instructions

Make the waistband a lot smaller than your measurements.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Casual


Materials

Cotton interlock jersey

What was your inspiration?

These are so comfortable, you can wear them all day long.

What are you most proud of?

I made these for my size but the waistband was too loose. I remedied this by folding them in half at the waistband and sewing them from the bottom edge of the inside waistband seam, in a diagonal line to one inch at the top. This removed 2 inches from the width at the top. I trimmed this seam down and they were a much better fit.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Make a smaller waistband than your waist measurement.

Thank you. I think it is because it doesn't have elastic, you have to make it tight to stay up!

I just made a pair of the pants and found i had to size down in every area. I think the stretchiness of the fabric really matters. The fabric I chose for my shorts were perfect.

I know, it's strange, I was sewing a small for these and still had to reduce the waistband.

Lynn they look great. I find that my everyday look is usually a tee and pair of yoga pants.
