I do this method for the back of my pants or skirt when I want elastic in back & flat front. I do separate waist band for the flat front. It can be little tricky getting front & back waist bands even. I love the look.
Style Arc has a few styles like this, and the old Stretch and Sew patterns usually had a fold over waistband. I hadn’t really given any thought to that being an uncommon finish these days. Thanks Karina!
I’ve been using this method for several years as the pants stay up better over my flat hips and minimal waist indention. (I’m not sure why but they do.) I call it a grown-on waistband. Sometimes I leave an opening in the side seam inside the waist band to allow for later adjustments to the elastic. I really appreciate your clear and thorough instructions, and all the great tips - like sewing guide lines for folding. Great idea!
Your explanation is so thorough and easy to understand! Really nice to watch and learn. I am so intrigued however, because this is how I learned to do it and most patterns and tutorials I see around, are exactly with this method of integrating the height onto the pattern, so I am wondering if it is something more common in the US, or something..? I am so used to it that I run away scared of adding the extra band afterwards, lol. I feel like I will mess it up, so I always just add the height to the pattern. :) Anyway. Lovely tutorial!
Thanks for the tutorial … great one to keep in the archives for when I am making pants/skirts. What I am not clear on, is how to finish the casing after it is turned to the wrong side, especially when you say it is possible to use different width elastic to the front portion of the “waistband”. Thanks in advance.
I did explain this. You either serge it or add 3/8" to be able to turn it in. Please see the section of the pattern work because I explained in detail.
Karina, I really appreciate the techniques you teach us. As we mature, learning techniques to accommodate changes in our bodies (I.e., weight gain, posture, etc.) helps us continue to sew and maintain the looks we love. I love elasticated waistbands. Thank you for sharing with us.
Brilliant - I love watching your techniques. I have been sewing for a very long time - yet I manage to take away a new technique everytime I watch you do your thing! Thank you!
Wow those memory creases at the beginning! No wonder your work is so nicely finished, no bulk and the waistband lies flat! Great technique. Thank you.🙏 👍🏼🇵🇷🗽😃
Thank you. You have a great channel. Sharing all this knowledge is very nice of you. You always sound so happy and your surroundings are beautiful. It always looks like you are vacation. I get happy just watching you. Have a nice day.
Thank you Karina - this waist finish is perfect for my short waist and muffin-top midriff, I get the most comfortable fit this way. I like to use stretch woven denim and can get a lovely smooth finish with no unwanted bulk.
I have been sewing all my life and I learn new things from you with every video. I would love to know the pattern for the pretty top you are wearing with the square neckline and puffed sleeves.
OMG, Karina!!! How do you read my mind in Venice,California from Brazil!?!? I was working on a little shorts project and this video will greatly help me finish! Love all of your content!!! You are awesome!!! PS: Can you do some more men's clothing, like cargo pants/shorts and (what we call) bowling style shirts??? Thanks! 🩳🩳😁😁🥰🥰🤩🤩
This is great! I’m going to try this with the next pair of shorts I’m making. One question: the pattern instructions say to interface the waistband. With this technique, would I still use the interfacing?
I would not interface the casing extension. Most elasticated waistbands are not interfaced though, so I would double think those instructions. Only regular fitted waistbands are interfaced.
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles I double checked - I’m making the Summer Caye shorts from Love Notions, and they do say to use interfacing on the waistband lining along with elastic. I’m always happy to skip interfacing whenever possible, though, so I’m going to use your method with no interfacing. 😊
Thanks Karina. That's so well thought out

Great video Karina. I have a dress I cut the top off so I could make a skirt. This is perfect timing. Thank you 😊
I'm about to turn a maxi skirt that I never wear into a knee-length. Ditto!
Fantastic tutorial!! Thank you!
I tried this on my own and it didn't quite work, now I now why!! going to redraw the top again. thanks so much.
This is good!
Thanks for showing, very smart and clever, will be trying this for sure😊
Thank you Karina. I love your content.
Thx Karina. Like this idea. Much easier way to do it. 😎
Thanks Karina I’ve only just started doing that with my pants. It makes it do much easier.
Karina, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Very much appreciated.
Thanks for sharing this information. I think even I could do this one!😂
Wow those memory creases at the beginning! No wonder your work is so nicely finished, no bulk and the waistband lies flat! Great technique. Thank you.🙏 👍🏼🇵🇷🗽😃

I’m in the short-waisted club, too. 😇
Thanks!
Another great video!! Perfect timing! I want to replace the yoga waistband on the Sinclair Dunes for another look. This is perfect!

Thank you once again Karina! Always so helpful! Do you use a small zigzag when sewing down the middle of a smaller width elastic?
What is the pattern for the blue (dotted Swiss?) top you are wearing??? So pretty!
Thanks! it's the Saltwhistle from Love Notions www.lovenotions.com/product/saltwhistle?affiliates=366
Your tutorials are so helpful. I love the fabric you have on. Is it a dress?

Do you think this would work with the skort ?

I would not interface the casing extension. Most elasticated waistbands are not interfaced though, so I would double think those instructions. Only regular fitted waistbands are interfaced.

Is this going to work with jogging
If the elastic is nice and fitted, I don't see why not.
Thank you so much for this video, happy sewing🪡🪡🪡
