Have you ever laboured over a pair of pants only to shift sizes, rendering them unwearable? Take a lesson from the tailors of high-end suits and build ease into your trousers from the get-go! In this lesson (taken from our online Trouser Making Class), Heather will show you how to easily adapt any pants pattern you might be working on to add these adjustable seams. From giving yourself some extra at the center back seam, to creating a two-piece waistband to make future alterations a breeze, this is an extra (easy) step to save future you a lot of frustration.
