Whatchu Know Bout' Waistbands?


Plain Waistband

To create a plain waistband is fairly easy, take your waistband piece and the rest of your garment and put right sides together (as shown) and sew. You may want to sew with long stitches to later gather your garment.


Topstitched Waistband

Who doesn't love jeans? They're so versatile! One day you can wear them with a tee and one day you can dress them up! Jeans are a great example of a topstitched waistband. The way you topstitch is you take your machine and sew as close as you possibly can to the outside edge of your garment. Doesn't sound too hard, but its much easier said than done! This ones a little tough because you have to really pay close attention to make sure your sewing in a straight line and everything looks good.
