Waistband Variations

Waistband Variation 1: Sew-on Waistband with Seams

This waistband variation is a neat hybrid between the cut-on and sew-on waistbands.

See our Second Doctor(ish) trousers tutorial for a demonstration of this waistband variation's construction.



Waistband Variation 2: Front-only Sew-on Waistband (with back cut-on)

 

This waistband variation is another neat hybrid between the cut-on and sewn-on waistbands, with the front waistband being sewn-on and the back waistband being cut-on.

See our Joker trousers tutorial for a demonstration of this waistband variation's construction.

Waistband Variation 3: Sew-on Waistband with Back Vent

This waistband variation is a neat variation of the sew-on waistband with seams because it has a back vent, which is not only stylistically different but allows the waistband to have some give.

See our Seventh Doctor(ish) trousers tutorial for a demonstration of this waistband variation's construction.
