now we will cut the waistband the width of our waistband will be one and a half inches or four centimeters we will fold this and we will need a sewing allowance of half inch on both sides of our waistband so one and a half inches plus one and a half inches plus 1/2 inch sewing allowance on both sides is equivalent to four inches or 10 centimeters so since this is folded we will just mark 1/2 of four inches which is 2 inches or 5 centimeters okay we get the waistline measurement and we add three inches or seven point five centimeters okay it's best to be in this so that when we cut the fabric the fabric doesn't move now we will get the waistline measurement we mark the end of the waistband and we get the waistline measurement and add three inches or seven point five centimeters okay so we can now cut our waistband so this is our waistband we will be getting the length of the waistband and we will transfer it on our stiffener the waistline measurement plus three inches or seven point five centimeters here the length is 32 inches or 81 centimeters we will mark this we will follow the length of the waistband now we will get the width of the waistband we will go up one and a half inches or four centimeters for the width of the waistband we will be connecting these marks with a straight line so this is the adjusted length of the waistband and we will also square this now we will start cutting the stiffener of the ways I have to remark and beeline this fabric so that the line will be really straight now that I'm sure that the edge of this waistband is really straight and I am working on the wrong side of the fabric I will be going down 1/4 of an inch or 0.6 of a centimeter I will be marking this we will make the marks closer to each other now I will be attaching the stiffener over 1/4 of our sewing allowance we pin this together ok now we will be machine stitching on the 1/4 of an inch or centimeter sewing allowed now we will pin the waistband by pushing the stiffener this way make sure that it's at the very edge okay to mark our sewing line as I said this is the wrong side of the fabric so we can use the pencil because it is a thinner tip we will fold the waistband this way and get the edge of the folded waistband make sure you're marking the edge we can mark the sewing line closer to each other okay as you can see I'm really making sure that I am folding the waistband at the very edge of the stiffener we seem to about bigger allowance on this side and on the top we might as well check I really folded it at the very end or edge yeah I did that's why we make up four inches or 10 centimeters allowance on the waistband to make sure that we won't run short of our allowances because sometimes when we cut the fabric the fabric moves now I will be folding the waistband this way so that I get the center okay and I will mark it this way so there is the center of the waistband from the center I will get 1/4 of the waist measurement for the medium figure the waistline is 28 inches or 71 centimeters and to get 1/4 I will fold this twice now I will mark 1/4 here and one for on the other side of the center mark from this mark I will again mark 1/4 of the waist line this way and again this is the center mark and I got 1/4 of the waist line and from this mark I will again mark 1/4 of the waist measurement this way ok ok we get the center and 1/4 of the waist line which will represent from center back to the side seam of the back of the pants and this 1/4 will represent the side seam to the center front of the pants we do this to make sure that you have the exact measurement when we attach the waistband on the waistline of the pants ok just to make sure that you get the sewing line we will just be connecting the solving line marks okay this way we're also making sure that our marks are more or less straight now we will be attaching the waistband
