When you are making pants to wear outside the bedroom, going to the trouble to add pockets and your waist is much smaller than your hips, you may not want the bulk that a waistband the width of the top of these pants would provide.
You can use a knit for the waistband. Cut it long enough to easily go over the hips when stretched. A knit fabric will not need the seam allowance on the back of the waistband turned under. It can be finished by stitching in the ditch from the right side and with the other seam allowances inside the waistband.

In reply to . It means to stitch from the right side in the groove, or ditch, formed by the previous seam.

In reply to . Usually it is (measure round where you will wear the waist minus 3 inches ) plus 1 inch for seam allowance- this will stretch to accomodate your waist or try on your waist . Cheers

Thanks for the patterns. I tried the first one as a very newbie sewist and ended up with ’90s low-rise style trousers! I used 1/4 of hip measurement for X-D but found it was nowhere near enough. Next time I’ll add a lot more. It would be really useful to have an image of someone wearing the finished item just to see where it sits, and maybe have an “add more for a higher waist” note next to this measurement.

Hi,
Is a seam allowance included in the pattern measurements? If so how much? Or do I need to add it after I draw it out.

Hi Haley
C-d is 1/3 of hip alright – you can reduce the extra allowance from 3 to 1

Hey for method 2 is c-d supposed to equal 1/4? 1/3 would seem to be too big

In reply to . stitch in the ditch means sewing as close to the seam as possible so that the binding is caught in the stitches
