hi i need help badly!!! a sweet lady would like me to make the waist of some levis bigger so she can enjoy the buffets in vegas....she gave me some pieces of strechy ribbing like elastic............is it possible to cut the waist and insert the ribbing??? plase help thank you to all jennifer
There are several ways you can approach the problem, some more difficult than others. Does the lady plan to tuck her shirt in, or is she strictly an over-blouse type?
My question would be, is the alteration going to cost as much, or more, than a new pair of pants the right size?
Some ladies are more apple-shaped than others, especially after a visit to an all-you-can-eat buffet. If she's going to wear her blouse out, you can slit the waistband in the back, patch in a v-shaped piece of spandura or something similar, and give her the extra breathing room she needs to indulge. If she's really round, you can even cut away the entire front of the jeans (as long as they fit well in the ass and legs) and splice in a maternity panel.
If she plans to wear her shirt tucked in, the project becomes more involved (and costly).
