Hello and welcome to the course how to adjust a pence waistband with an invisible elastic band. So just like me, you might have a few pairs of pants that fit perfectly everywhere but the waist, so I'll show you how to put a simple elastic band to tie them up a bit. I myself use this technique on almost all of my tests because they somehow always seem to be too large at the waist. Okay, so let's begin. First make sure that your sewing machine is all set. Check the spool and bobbins threads are the proper color and as they go through all the places they're supposed to use a size 1214 or 16 needle or the European equivalent would be at 90 or 100 depending on your fabric thickness.

So for a very thin fabric, use a size For thick fabrics like denim, use the size 16. I always recommend making a small test on a patch of fabric similar to the one you're going to use to make sure that the machines tension and the length of the stitches are appropriate for what you want to do. So once everything is set, you may begin to sew or otherwise do more tests while adjusting the tension or the stitches length or by making sure that your machine is threaded correctly. With the help of a walks or so Korean and a measuring tape. Make two small marks each at nine centimeters from the center of your pants middle back on the inside of the waistband. If you don't have a crayon, you can just use two pins instead.

Then you'll need to fold your elastic band in two pieces to find a center and then put it back Pin there. Now fold one centimetres of the extremities and pin them on the lines you just drew, placing them in parallel with the elastic bend so that the sewing needle will go over it. Then pin the elastic center on the waistband center. You will notice that the elastic band is about five millimeters shorter than the length of which it is pinned, but it's alright. That's what we need to type in the pence. Now put the lecture side of the elastic bend under the presser foot, and make sure that the needle is right on the upper corner at about two millimeters from the elastics edge.

Remember to always so backstitch at the beginning and at the end of the seam to make sure that it lasts. To do a back stitch, you just have to make two to three stitches back and forth. And there you go. A strong securing stitch. And now so the left side of the elastic band, stop at the lower corner and make another backstitch. Now lift the presser foot at copy exceeding threads.

You'll need to do the exact same thing with the center and right side of the elastic band. Don't forget to always make it back stitch at the beginning and at the end of the seam. So be careful though. In the center. If there is a belt loop, make sure the seam is a bit further. So new So the Once this is done, you can remove the pins.

Now put the left side of the elastic band under the presser foot. But this time we'll so it's like the place the needle on the upper part of the elastic. Here you'll need some skills to stretch the elastic band while sewing. So take care to only stretch the elastic not depends. Take it slow. So start by making a strong backstitch and then slowly so the elastic band all the way to the middle, always while stretching it.

Make sure to stop before the If you don't want to so that they'll make it back stitch them live the presser foot and cut the thread. Move the garment so that the presser foot will be on the other side of the belt. Make a new backstitch and so the rest of the elastic band and other ways make it backstitch lift the presser foot and cut the exceeding threads.
