Troubleshooting

Pattern pieces don't match up.

Double-check that you have the correct pattern pieces and that they are aligned properly. Review the cutting layout for accuracy.

Adjust the length of the elastic or the waistline casing as needed. Try the garment on and make adjustments before permanently stitching the elastic in place.
