Look for a a little bit too narrow seam. Wait, don't rip, just fold it over, and carefully resew that seam a few threads inside the original seam. making it a bit wider = the right size. Leave the old stitches there. You wil see "they are not doing anything"!
Try to have all the seams the same 1/4 inch. If they slipped, and are uneven, you probably have to rip and resew.
