Okay, so I just have to share this.
My biggest problem with my jeans that sit slightly below my waist is that I'm constantly walking around tugging up at the waistband. I feel that I need suspenders to keep my pants up.
So, as I was unloading the dishwasher, I had an inspiration. I got out my sewing machine, took my pants off and sewed 4 little "darts" into the waistband of my jeans. 2 across the back, and one at each side seam. By dart, I mean I took it in about a half inch at the top of the waistband and then angled down to meet the edge where the waisband meets the jeans.
It took me less than 10 minutes, and I slipped my jeans back on and oh my! I am in heaven! They feel so much more secure now. No more tugging.
Just thought I'd share that because I know I can't be the only tugger out there!
