I didn't feel like trying the drawers on yesterday (I was cold and tired) so I threw caution to the wind and just finished them on without fitting... And thus it was only later that I remembered I couldn't just have a waistband that sits at the waist, but wanted one that sits on the high hip. And thus, I am now sending my regards to Sini of the Past while I unpick the waistband so I can add more length to it and regather the trouser legs on it again. 馃槅 Glad I used contrasting thread!
