About Vinette de Phillipe Expertise I have many years of experience and can answer most questions pertaining to sewing, altering patterns, finding notions, and more.
Experience I have been making my own clothes since 1957. Have taught many classes both for young and adults, including my two boys.
Question How do I take regular ladies jeans that are too tight in the (high) waste and make them low rise jeans? Do I have to replace the zipper and create a new top band and button?
Answer HI Jill
you will need to add to the band and maybe you can reuse the button.
As to the zipper, you may be able to cut the top off.
you will need to cut the pants down the same amount all the way around. This may have some effect on the front pockets.
