I like how you used the dark elastic, it really looks less obvious. I ordered the kit, so I am using the teal corduroy and it came with white button elastic so I think I will go and try to find some black. I would love to try your second idea too, you are so clever. I can't wait to see what you do with the pattern, it has three pocket options!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832788011009835579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451620064759054335.post-16034023121682170242012-02-20T05:52:47.974-08:002012-02-20T05:52:47.974-08:00Another way to tackle it is to make a feature of t...Another way to tackle it is to make a feature of the button.<br />Leave an opening on the right side of the waistband and sew the elastic into little tabs at each end(not unlike the tabs on the Finch shorts) sew a button hole into the tab,several buttons on the waistband,and then you can adjust the waist with the elastic still in the casing and the natty little tab on view.motherof5https://www.blogger.com/profile/10195031588051037622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451620064759054335.post-61514031078918642212012-02-20T05:31:29.122-08:002012-02-20T05:31:29.122-08:00Thank you Kim!

The elastic is hidden inside the casing.<br /><br />As for the waist band,I generally put mine on back to front but as I have not yet made this pattern I am not sure that method will work...<br /><br />You have definitely given me something to think about while making them.<br />Sorry not to be more help.<br />x Nmotherof5https://www.blogger.com/profile/10195031588051037622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451620064759054335.post-56277809672280667752012-02-20T05:16:47.944-08:002012-02-20T05:16:47.944-08:00Just so nice with your fabric choice. I read your ...Just so nice with your fabric choice. I read your tutorial, for the beautiful black shorts, to look at your waistband. I am sewing the Raven pants and the waistband calls for the same method but it is a button waistband just along the back waist. Do you have a suggestion on how to sew a button waistband that does not have the elastic or buttons visible? I'm also concerned about stitching in the ditch along the bottom of a waistband that it looks good on the outside but wonky on the inside,not straight. But concerned that hand sewing will not stand up to the wear.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832788011009835579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451620064759054335.post-6351661346455708412012-02-14T18:23:45.930-08:002012-02-14T18:23:45.930-08:00Thank you Margaret.
