Great tips, thank you, Johanna. I've just started interfacing both sides of the waistband. It makes a difference

Brilliant tips. I have a bunch of pants to sew (lost a bunch of weight) and these tips will be very useful. Thank you!

I will admit that I avoid making pants because of the fly, so I thank you very much for your hints and tips to get the pants looking professionally made. You have a way of explaining things really well and I will have a hunt for your other videos now. Thanks for sharing! 👍🥰

I’ve just watched your video on doing the fly on a pair of jeans, it’s brilliant! I’ve never seen it done quite that way before but I’m definitely giving this a go now. You make it look fairly straight forward and the result is very professional. Thank you so much for the work you put into these videos, they are so helpful 👍🥰

So very helpful - thank you. I'll look at some of these in more detail with your links - I have a pair of linen pants waiting to be made and will do all you have suggested!

If the front pockets just curve and not go to the top, I attach a ribbon tape to suspend the pocket and sew it into the waistband. No saggy pockets or gaping. Lately I been using stretch knit interfacing on the waistbands because I am sewing stretch twill of either cotton or wool. That way nothing will tear on the inside if the pants are stretched out during wear. My waist expands by 7 cm in the winter and goes down in the spring. Jorgen likes how it feels comfortable even when wearing a belt.

Excellent tips! I need to watch your blind hem tutorial again so I can improve on the technique. Quite often, when I am sewing waistbands, I pin the right side of the waistband to the wrong side of the pants and sew, attaching band. Press and flip the waistband toward the outside. When pressing the seam allowance on the outside of the band, I make sure it covers the seam. Hard to explain and sounds counterintuitive, but I obtain better results with top stitching. Thanks, Johanna! R

Wow those are wonderful tips 💕 I've been afraid to sew zip pants so far but I'm finding brave these days and I'm ready to try it. Fitting is a mystery 😳. thanks so much for sharing your expertise!

Yay! You can do it! I too had some zipper anxiety in the past, but with practice and better assembly methods it's actually not that hard.

Thanks for your tips, here is one tip. It is sewing buttonholes. I use the tear-away paper stabilizer for my button holes so they are now chewed up by the sewing machine. I tear them off after the buttonholes are made.
