How do you alter jeans that are too small around the waist?

In: Sewing [Edit categories]

Answer:

Here's a handyman's solution to your problem. When my jeans and work pants got too tight, I simply made a one inch cut, at the waistline at each hip. Then I made sure to always wear a belt to keep the waist from stretching too much and increasing or deepening the cut, as well as hiding the "homemade tailoring".
