Follow me along as I sew a custom pair of pants for a client. These pants feature front side seam pockets and an elastic backside waistband. Try changing the play speed to 1.5 if you get a bit bored with the pace. :)
Here is a link to the video of me showing how I join the ends of elastic together: youtu.be/yt-WjwJuYws
NOTE! I used Annotations in this video. But Youtube eliminated them in May of 2017. Sorry for that. If you have any questions please let me know.
This video is a bit over 90 minutes in length, so I've included a timecode list for you to reference:
