-
-
While wearing the jeans, pinch the excess fabric at the center of the backside of the waistband.
-
-
-
Keeping the excess fabric pinched, place two highlighter marks at the point where you with the waist to touch.
-
Once done, remove the jeans and lay them flat with the front side up.
-
-
-
Locate the points on the seam directly below the two highlighter marks.
-
Using the seam ripper or a pair of scissors, break the two seams to loosen the lining along the fabric.
-
-
-
-
Starting from where one of the seams is broken, cut up the waistband, stopping just before reaching the top.
-
Repeat this process for the other broken seam point.
-
-
-
Measure and cut out a strip of elastic that is slightly smaller than the distance between the two cuts on the waistband.
-
-
-
Attach a safety pin onto each end of the elastic strip.
-
Using the safety pin, attach one end of the elastic strip to the waistband directly outside of one of the cuts.
-
-
-
Slip the free end of the elastic strip into the nearest cut.
-
Push the elastic strip along the waistband through the other cut using the safety pin as an aid.
-
-
-
Similar to the process in step 6, attach the elastic strip just outside of the cut using the remaining safety pin.
-
-
-
Adjust the excess fabric until it is laying as flat as you can get it.
-
To change the size again you can use a looser or tighter elastic band. If a more permanent fix is required, sewing in place of the safety pins is a possible, but more challenging fix. Please note that because of where the cuts are made you will not be able to alter the size drastically the second time you alter them.
