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.

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.
