WAISTBAND:
Cut the elastic to your personal length and lay one edge on top of the other and stitch together securely.
Mark the elastic in quarters with chalk so the makings will match up with the centre front, centre back and side seam so the elastic has an even spread.
Overlock or sew one edge of the elastic to the inside top edge of the waist of the pant, stretching the elastic as you sew. Turn the elastic over to the inside to encase in the top of the pant and pin down. Sew a twin needle or single topstitch around the lower edge of the elastic, stretching the elastic as you sew.
