mens trousers?

The elastic came out of the side of the pants, how do I sew it back in and keep the stretch to the waist line
Marie Ann, November 2009
If you have a sewing machine, you will have to stretch the elastic while you zigzag it.
If you want to hand sew it, you can use pins to divide the waistband into 4 sections, and use pins to divide elastic into 4 section. Then you can match the pins so as to pin waistband and elastic together.

When you pin them together, the waistband will gather, so you can sew one section at a time.
