JEAN DILLEMMA - Fixing the Back Gap

Do you have a pair of jeans that give you problems every time you pull them on?

For many women, the space above their butt that exposes a little too much skin, along with their underwear, is impossible to avoid. If you can reach around and fit your hand into the back of your jeans, some adjustments need to be made, or you need to look for a low-rise jean cut.

Everyone hates ass-cleavage and there’s no reason you should be the exception to the rule.

With these simple tips, you’ll be able to alter your jeans at the waist and remove the gap.

Materials Needed

• 1/2″ elastic (use desired length)
• Sewing machine or sewing needle
• Thread

Fix the Gap

If you want to try this on heavy denim, you may want to use wider elastic, thicker thread and extra sew lines.

1. Using a zigzag stitch, start sewing the 1/2 inch elastic band in the middle section, moving outwards
2. As you sew, pull the elastic tightly together and allow the denim to normally feed through the machine
3. Repeat on other side, making sure not to stitch through the belt loops
4. Finish with one stitch in the middle.
5. Ta-da! No more pantie party!
