Tutorial: Fix for a gaping waistband

I’ve lost count of the times I’ve tried on a pair of pants and found them to be perfect, except for one very inconveninet flaw – a waistband that gaps at the back. That’s no good!! My underwear might be cute, but that doesn’t mean I want everyone to see it! Becky from Patchwork Posse has a solution, though. She shares a tutorial showing how to insert elastic into the back waistband so it snugs in to fit. She also shows how to make it adjustable, which is perfect for growing kids or pants that will be handed down from one child to the next.
