Sewing pattern: Curved waistband pants pattern alteration

September 6, 2018 by Anne Weaver

Sewing tutorial: Curved waistband pants pattern alterationA curved waistband is a nice feature on a pair of pants.  It hugs to our curves and the stretch of the bias is more comfortable to wear.  Not all sewing patterns have a curved waistband, though.  Katie from Sew Altered Style shows how you can alter a straight waistband pattern to a curved one.  The alteration takes some cutting and reshaping of the pattern piece, but that curved waistband will be worth the work!

Sewing Pattern – DIY Beach Towel Bag

If you are like me you want an easy way to carry your towel and a few items to the beach but don’t want a bag just to hold those things.

So I came up with the idea to make a beach towel bag. This way it is a bag that can hold a few items but also function as your towel. I love it! I share with you how you can make your own beach towel bag.

This is an easy sewing project that is perfect for summer! I even made a few for my kids so they each have their own. Start sewing this fun bag today.
