Interfacing the Waistband
- Fully interface the waistband (1 pc). It is recommended to interface the pieces using the block-fusing method: rough-cut the pieces with an additional 1–2 cm allowance, apply the fusible interfacing, and then precisely cut them out according to the pattern piece. Next, fold under the seam allowance of one long edge of the waistband (1 cm) and press.
