HOW TO GET RID OF THE WAIST GAP IN YOUR JEANS



Finding a good pair of jeans is hard. Then you eventually get a nice pair with the right length and there is this gap that sticks out at the waistline. To fix this, sew a small piece of elastic to the back of your jeans, or sometimes the sides of your jeans.
Jeans sometimes fit at the hips, but then there's a  gap at the waistline. Website I Am Momma explains how to fix this with a small piece of elastic and some sewing skills. She uses a 6" piece of elastic, about 1/2" thick:




Start in the middle and sew to the end using a zig-zag stitch. As you sew, pull the elastic tight and let the jean fabric feed through the machine normally. Do the same thing to the other side of the elastic. This will make the elastic centered and don’t stitch through the belt loops on the other side. Lastly do one stitch in the middle, also try not to stitch through the belt holes.
As you can see from her photos, the elastic creates a small bunch in the back of your jeans, eliminating the gap altogether. 
And there is an option of just eating till the slack is no more...
