Tutorial: Replace a jeans waistband to eliminate muffin top

Tutorial: Replace a jeans waistband to eliminate muffin topJane from Maiden Jane  liked just about everything about her new jeans – except for one important thing.  The waistband.  It came too low and hit her at the fullest part of her belly, which was not only uncomfortable but also created the dreaded muffin top.  She ripped that baby off and replaced it with a new, taller waistband.  The jeans are now comfortable on her waist and she’s eliminated the muffin top effect.  Go to Maiden Jane to see a tutorial showing how she did it.
