I feel a bit regret of piling up un-done clothes so I can finish them all at once. Apparently, getting a time to do it is difficult. It’s better to finish it at the span of time I’m making it. Developing mood to do finishing is even harder than time. It’s a very slow progress. Goodness, and my boys are so naughty lately.

Rubber and Plain Waistband Combination
had been learning to sew this technique. This is plain waistband on the front and back and sides are with rubber. It’s actually not difficult but a bit tricky. The technique can be seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP7sWSiADEY&sns=em
In sewing plain waistband, I don’t one detail in the technique that is the position of the interfacing. I don’t place it on the front like when sewing ordinary or usual plain waist band.
Please watch carefully how to sew it as some details are important and if you miss it, it can be a mess (like what i did)…
I didn’t sew it neatly because i was mistaken with usual technique i used, so i missed some details. I pulled off all the seam and repeat but not much space for sewing anymore…haha…so, well, the rubber is a bit seen. Even though it’s seen, it still shows consistency. not like, half length seen, half length hidden. It means, the technique is great. I really didn’t do anything but following the technique correctly after realizing my mistake before. It’s amazing that I just pulled the rubber and hold it and sew it. Well, perhaps didn’t do anything isn’t like ‘anything at all’ either. Haha. I’d practiced it with other technique before so, perhaps, I’m a bit ‘trained to control the rubber and waist band band fabric. But, I’m optimist that it’s not difficult just as long as you have already known how to sew plain waist band properly. Because, if you don’t know how to do it, you might find a difficulty to imagine which part it is and which part that is.
NOTE: THIS IS FOR INTERMEDIATE SKILL OR EVEN IF YOU’RE BASIC, YOU MUST HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEW PLAIN WAISTBAND PROPERLY (WITH CORRECT AND NEAT SEWING TECHNIQUE).
Sorry, I don’t open comment slot as spam or unrelated comments came in in the past. I have tweeted it. Please find nichancraftroom twitter and mention if you want to ask in english. I might be able to help (my english isn’t too good but I will try my best). As for Indonesian languange, please go to the youtube link and ask directly to mr.Zainal Ali who posted the video.
Jeans Denim Pants Project
i’ve been doing personal project of sewing denim pants…using ‘real’ denim jeans fabric…i mean, not cotton jeans or soft jeans…i use the real thick jeans used on ‘old-school classic jeans’…
apparently, i used ‘wrong’ measurement last time…haha…no wonder, it’s a bit loose and not fit as expected…it is ok…but it’s like when i used size 31, it is size 32…XDXD…goodness…I’m not sure to use the same pattern though i know what the mistakes are now…
i will be back to my teacher’s pattern on next project. I have checked everything. it should be ok…XD…
after this, i’ll be going back to doll project…my target is i have to be able to sew jeans low-waist pants for myself…XD…problem is the R&D projects for my size is not cheap and i always use the suitable fabric, not replacement or other cheaper one. The risk of different result is big while the effort is the same. I’d rather risk my money a bit than effort…my effort is expensive since i have the boys…XDXDXD…
now…cutting the pattern..
