We start by ironing interfacing onto one half of the waistband and folding it in half lengthwise. Next, we'll pin the waistband to the top edge of your pants, ensuring a proper overlap for the underlap. After sewing the waistband in place, we'll press the seam allowance inside and sew the short sides. You'll learn how to trim and turn the waistband for sharp corners before folding and securing the inside seam allowance with a fell stitch. Finally, we'll add the buttonhole and button to complete the waistband.

This tutorial will help you achieve a professional-looking waistband that provides both style and function.
