Getting ready for SESSION 1 February 15th Prepare and fit a waistband

Our goal this week is to prepare and fit a mockup waistband for the #OLOlivePants. The pattern has a straight waistband with a finished width of about 1½ inches /38 mm.

I’ll be posting how I make the fitting waistband, why starting with one makes such a difference if you are fitting solo, and thoughts on waistbands in general.

Coming up this week:

Waistbands—Moving Beyond the Binary

Advantages of Starting with a Waistband when Fitting Pants and Trousers
