🇪🇸 ~ Mi gran batalla sobre los pantalones por ajustar en la cintura ha llegado a su fin.

Por muchos años Dios sabe cuántos pantalones de tiro alto he dañado tratando de modificarlos para que me queden:

Haciendo pinzas que terminan no solo viéndose feas sino que son súper incómodas contra la piel, cosiendo elástico que deforma la forma del jean, y haciendo canales para cintas que solo amontonaban horriblemente la tela.

Y aunque me estoy divorciando de los pantalones para entrar en mi era de vestidos y faldas largas, ¡HE ENCONTRADO EL MÉTODO 100% EFECTIVO PARA LOGRAR EL AJUSTE IDEAL!

Con este método conseguirás en la cintura de tus pantalones:

✨ Un ajuste cómodo, una modificación limpia, y por fin, ¡una instalación de elástico que no baila ni se deforma! ✨

🇺🇸 ~ My great battle over pants that fit at the waist has come to an end.

For many years God knows how many high-waisted pants I've damaged trying to modify them to fit me:

Making pin-ups that not only look ugly but are super uncomfortable on the skin, sewing elastic that warps the shape of the jean, and making channels for ribbons that just bunch up the fabric horribly.

And even though I'm divorcing pants to enter my era of dresses and long skirts, I HAVE FOUND THE 100% EFFECTIVE METHOD TO GET THE IDEAL FIT!

With this method you will achieve at the waist of your pants:

✨ A comfortable fit, a clean modification, and finally, a stretch installation that won't dance or warp! ✨

_{✦ Jeans may be very popular, but nowadays the ones you find in stores have a strange construction that does not flatter the figure, and even worse for people like me who have a big butt and a very high waist ✦}

« "How to get a perfect fit in the waistband of your jeans without undoing them" »

_{✦ I was in a very popular department store in town and there were ridiculously cheap deals. I LOVE the color of these pants but they were only a size 8 and they fit me well in the hips but huge in the waist, they fall down. It's also the first wide boot pant I've ever bought, a style I'm not used to ✦}

_{✦ Also, the bottom was a bit saggy and I hate torn or faded clothes. So before I adjusted the waist, I wanted to fix that part to my liking ✦}

【 PASO 1 】 Antes del ajuste principal de la pretina, vamos a cortar el excedente de tela de las piernas a nuestra altura y hacer una abertura por motivos fashionistas. También aunque muy personalmente, no me gusta la moda que simula estar rota, por eso lo primero que hice fue cortar toda esa sección.

【 STEP 1 】 Before the main waistband adjustment, we cut the excess fabric off the legs at our height and make a slit for fashionista reasons. Also, though very personally, I don't like fashion that pretends to be torn, so the first thing I did was cut off that whole section.

_{✦ Turn the pants inside out and mark the seam corresponding to the outer part of each leg at 30 cm, mark it with a pin and sew a double safety seam with the sewing machine ✦}

_{✦ Open the seam very carefully with a seam ripper, stopping at the safety seam you made earlier ✦}

_{✦ Clean all loose threads with the scissors ✦}

_{✦ Fold this opening inward and secure with small pins ✦}

_{✦ Repeat the same sequence with the other leg ✦}

【 PASO 2 】 Ahora para elaborar las aberturas, antes de coser el ruedo de las botas, en la costura que mira hacia el lado exterior de cada pierna vas a marcar la altura máxima donde quieres que llegue las aberturas. Puedes hacer una costura de seguridad a mano o con la máquina de coser, y luego con ayuda del descosedor vas a abrir la costura original de cada pierna. Asegura todos los ruedos con alfileres.

【 STEP 2 】 Now, to make the openings, before sewing the hem of the boots, mark the maximum height where you want the openings to be on the seam facing the outside of each leg. You can make a safety seam by hand or machine and then use the unstitching device to open the original seam of each leg. Secure all hems with pins.

_{✦ Use a number 4 straight stitch and a number 16 needle ✦}

_{✦ The trick to making it look nice is to bring the seam in a straight line until it touches the original seam of the pants ✦}

_{✦ Without removing the needle, turn the trousers and continue sewing until you reach the final hem of the trousers ✦}

_{✦ Now you can sew the end of the pants ✦}

【 PASO 3 】 Lleva a la máquina de coser con puntada número 3.5 o 4, y utiliza una aguja número 16 o 18, y cose todo el borde de las aberturas y el final de cada bota con una puntada recta. Utiliza hilo del color más cercano posible al color del jean.

【 STEP 3 】 On a sewing machine with size 3.5 or 4 and a size 16 or 18 needle, sew a straight stitch around the edge of the openings and the end of each boot. Use thread as close to the color of the jeans as possible.

_{✦ Let's iron a little waistband before we start ✦}

_{✦ We stop right at the center strap pass, lift the machine foot, cut the thread, move the strap pass, place it on top of the seam where you finished, and continue to the next strap pass ✦}

_{✦ 💕 This is how it should look 💕 ✦}

【 PASO 4 】 ¡AHORA SÍ! PARA LA PRETINA: Vamos a elaborar 2 canales haciendo una costura recta en todo el centro de la cintura de pantalón, solamente en la parte posterior, y que coincida con el centro de los pasadores de correa de la espalda.

【 STEP 4 】 NOW IT'S ON! FOR THE WAISTBAND: Let's draw up 2 channels by making a straight seam all the way down the center of the pant waistband, **only in the back, and matching the center of the back strap pins.

_{✦ With the unstitcher we will make 2 openings to make 2 buttonholes, opening carefully so as not to mistreat the fabric which frays very easily ✦}

_{✦ Charge a needle with a double strand of thread and make a 2 eyelets by hand at the end of the canals ✦}

_{✦ Cut 2 strips of elastic with eyelets and take 4 buttons ✦}

_{✦ Sew the buttons at the end of the buttonholes as shown in the reference photos ✦}

_{✦ Secure with the sewing machine some safety tabs on the elastic straps as shown in the pictures ✦}

_{✦ Using a paper clip, thread the rubber bands through the channels one at a time ✦}

_{✦ Adjust the buttons on the elastic eyelets of your choice! ✦}

【 PASO 5 】 A continuación, elabora unos cortes grandes pero con mucho cuidado lo mas cerca posible del final de la costura de seguridad de los canales que has creado, y con aguja e hilo a mano elabora ojales con suficiente hilo. Cose 1 botón frente al final de cada canal, y pasa 1 tira de elástico en cada una con ayuda de un imperdible o un clip de papel. ¡Ajusta en la medida de tu preferencia y listo!

【 STEP 5 】 Next, make large but very careful cuts as close as possible to the end of the safety stitching of the channels you have created, and with needle and thread by hand make buttonholes with plenty of thread. Sew 1 button in front of the end of each channel and thread 1 strip of elastic through each using a safety pin or paper clip. Adjust to the size of your choice and you're done!
