Add cute or dramatic paperbag waistband’s to your garments with these easy steps!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Go cutesy, or all out drama with a paperbag waistband! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also use this handy tutorial if you discover the elastic you have is smaller in width than required for your waistband! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These look especially great with elastic waistbands like on our Pai Shorts sewing pattern<\/a>, Tio Trousers<\/a>, but could also be used on the M\u0101nuka Skirt sewing pattern<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paperbag waistband tutorial:<\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"How<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the pattern piece cutting stage, add the desired finished paperbag height x 2 to the top of the waist band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXAMPLE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mini:<\/strong> Add 20mm (3\/4″) for a 10mm (3\/8″) paperbag<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medium:<\/strong> Add 50mm (2″) for a 25mm (1″) paperbag<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large: <\/strong>Add 100mm (4″) for a 50mm (2″) paperbag<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the example photo with the blue Pai Shorts I have sewn in a “Mini” 10mm paperbag effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut out pattern and sew as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"paperbag<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After attaching the waistband to your garment (trousers, shorts, skirts etc), but before inserting the elastic: Top stitch around the top of the waistband with your desired paperbag height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press the top edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This creates a casing for the elastic to be threaded in to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue to sew your garment as per the given tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n
