Dash pants / January
I finished my Dash pants tonight and I really like them, I used a lightweight waffle knit I found at Hobby Lobby. I chose the high waisted 1.5 “ elastic band. Very comfortable.. I would like to make another pair soon.

The Dash Sweatpants Sew With Me is now available, with a big focus on sewing an elevated, expensive-looking waistband.
This isn’t a step-by-step sew-along — it’s a look at the construction choices and details I use when I want a basic garment to feel polished and intentional.
You can watch it on YouTube https://youtu.be/1e95xDI1ZcA or directly in the January section of Sew Together. If you try any of these waistband techniques, I’d love to hear how they work for you!
What stitch did you use to sew on the elastic channels? It looks like straight stitch but how would this stretch with the elastic?
I started sewing but got stumped on the 3 step where you sew the outside leg back to front. What do you do with the pockets?
Love those. Great job. Look great. I never thought about a waffle knit. I've been putting off making them as I don't have sweatshirt fabric. I have been shopping my stash to find something to make them out of. I think I might have waffle knit.
