I’m attaching the waistband to my linen Montauk trousers. The waistband does not line up exactly with the trouser bottoms. There is a gap along the back waistband. I have a feeling something isn’t right but I checked the pattern piece to be sure I cut the right size back waistband and it was correct. Should I use a basing stitch to gather the fabric in the back of the trousers or would you recommend cutting a new back waistband piece that fits the trouser back? I want to make another pair of these trousers so I’m hoping to try and see if I can figure out what I did wrong and find a good solution to my current dilemma. Thanks in advance for the assistance!
