If the jeans are large at the waist and at the same time just in the hips, you can sew pants so that the repair site will look neat and invisible.
This method is good when your jeans sit perfectly in the hips, but are too big at the waist. Most often, the belt protrudes slightly from the back - this looks messy. We already told how to solve such a problem with the help of rubber. The method below is a little more complicated, but gives a more inconspicuous result.
Stitched in this way, the jeans will sit back exactly and exactly in shape - like a glove!
