Ooo, this is a great way to do a curved waistband for a band that sits above the natural waist. There is also a contoured waistband, where the top sits at the natural waist. There's a video about it in the Craftsy skirt pattern drafting class. I also have a great pattern drafting book that I use a lot, and can recommend. It's called "Make Your Own Dress Patterns" by Adele P Margolis, and it makes a lot of sense to me! Lynne
The other video I saw was from Karina from Lifting Pins and Needles which made sense to me. I haven't tried it yet though! Good for you to figure out a way! It seems very simple to me!
Makes sense to me! I was trying to figure it out a while back, but I've never been all that great with math and stuff, so I gave my head a break and decided to "cheat" and buy a McCall's skirt pattern that had a curved waistband. LOL
This is brilliant. Pattern making for fashion design, the book I learnt from always pushes the slash and spread method, essentially the same thing in reverse (not sure if that's for waistbands too but in general) but that means opening up and filling the gap, yours is so much less fiddling around
Wheather it is lege artis or not: It's brilliant and you've done - yet again - a fantastic job explaining it! Congratulation to 10.000 subscribers! HURRAH!
Congratulations on 10k peeps! Great tutorial-very well explained and easy to understand. Karina from Lifting Pins and Needles has also done a tutorial on curved waistbands. I thought it was also a good method, but with all of the panels that a circle skirt has, it might be a bit difficult to draft the curved waistband. Thanks so much for this series, Siân-looking forward to many helpful tips and techniques.
I have a question but not waistband related......I have followed you on always doing french seams so I did it on daughters skirt....will do all the time now love them.... but how do I do a french curve on a seam that has a side seam 8 inch zip at the top..I bet its simple so look forward...xx
Crafty Kay for any of my seams that have a zip in them I use bias binding to finish the edges. I tried a French seam under a zip once and I didn’t like the weak point it had where I had to snip in to the seam at the bottom of the zip. Xx

Pure genius!well done and thank you 🙏
I have the same problem in making skirts for my daughter. I have been adjusting them with tiny “darts”. This method seems more sensible. Thanks ❤️
You've got 10 K of peeps! Congratulations! 😀😀😀

Just what I needed for the SOI ultimate trouser pattern. Thank you
The tutorial was fantastic. I tried your ideas and for the first , I had a perfect waistband 👌👌👌

Hi! How would you approach a curved waistband for a full circle skirt? Thanks!
Exactly like this :) I've used this waistband for a full circle skirt a number of times.
Is that just for the back part or the whole waist band?
The whole waistband. You could always add side seams if you want a pieced one 😊

If I had dynamite for brains I would be dangerous...I knew it would be simple...doh..Thank you lol xx
