    I have tried to draft a curved waistband in the past using a different approach. It turned out OK, but not great. Your method not only makes more sense to me, but is also easier and less time consuming! Thank you so much! You skill building tutorials are fantastic and so very useful!! 😊

    Excellent skill builder series. My heavily adjusted pants pattern has a curved waistband and even though I altered the waistband, it's wonky. I've some to the conclusion that it's poorly drafted so your techniques for drafting will solve the problem. Also making a pair with facings to wear with a top that ties at the front waist. Thanks Karina!

    Hello and Thanks for the video. When do we do curved band and when is it supposed to be straight

    • @LiftingPinsandNeedles
      @LiftingPinsandNeedles  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It depends on the fit you prefer. A straight one might give you gaping if you have a large hip to waist difference. If the body is more rectangular, a straight band is fine.

      Kerstin Shadbolt I interface woven waistbands. Knit ones I don’t because I can’t find knit interfacing... so depends on the fabric, I might interline with another thin knit and/or add a 1/4” elastic at the top for support.

    Just checking to make sure. I could take an existing rectangular pattern piece and extend the darts and cut them out the same way your self drafted ones were done correct? Then the seam allowance would already be there. At least that works in my logical mind. I haven’t tried it yet...

    • @LiftingPinsandNeedles
      @LiftingPinsandNeedles  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Loriann Payne the seam allowance is required all the way around the waistband. If you do what you are saying, you would still need to add seam allowance to the top of the waistband, sure the bottom bit will have what your skirt has...
      That’s why working without seam allowance for pattern drafting and manipulation is less confusing in the long run. Once you get used to it. It’s consistent that there is no seam allowance anywhere. Once you have your desired pieces you can add seam allowance everywhere.

    So helpful as always! I've been trying to put a wide curved waistband on a simple pajama pants pattern. The problem is the pattern calls for an elastic waistband (by turning under the top of the pants), so the pattern is flat across the top. I'm not sure how to gently curve the top of the pants to accommodate a curved waistband, or even if I should try to curve it. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    • @LiftingPinsandNeedles
      @LiftingPinsandNeedles  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would not try a curved waistband on pjs and much less if you need to put an elastic inside. I’d leave fitting finesse for real pants you wear outside.

    Are curved/shaped waistbands appropriate for men pants?

    • @LiftingPinsandNeedles
      @LiftingPinsandNeedles  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not unless they have a big booty. Men don’t usually have a huge difference between the waist and hips, so a straight waistband is all they need. Plus they need a belt 100% of the times.
      This also applies to women you have a more straight shape and an apple shape where the waist and hips don’t differ much.
