Curved side seams on the waistband help a bit, but if there is give in the fabric I just sigh for lost youth and add the elastic, usually at the side seams. If I stitch carefully in a straight line it's almost invisible from the outside. (Well that's what I think; maybe it's just that my eyesight isn't what it was just like my waistline!)Cleverclogsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-13634084141223697142011-06-01T01:17:18.026-04:002011-06-01T01:17:18.026-04:00I'm loving that skirt!!
