box pleats are a girl's best friend

Sometimes, when you're sewing a seam (like a waistband) your fabric stretches as you sew without you meaning it. Or you cut a pattern piece too big. Or there's just too much fabric for reasons unknown and probably involving string theory to explain.

Put in a box pleat! Instant cute and a fix. I love it when you can make mistakes into a detail that totally looks like some planned couture thing :)
