Tutorial: Removing a gap at the back of jeans

If your jeans have a little gap at the back of the waist, then you, my girl, are built with curves that your jeans just can’t handle. I know, cause I’m built with them, too.

Rian from Presser Foot shows how you can alter the jeans at the waist to remove the gap, just in case you don’t want the whole world to be able to look down your pants and see your undies. The tutorial is provided in two parts: Part 1 covers the demolition (ripping out the seams), and Part 2 shows how to put them back together with a perfect fit.
