When I need to mend the kids pants, that is what I am going to do. And I am not going to tell them I am doing it.

The worst part of re-doing an elastic waistband is the ripping out part. Todays elastic doesn't last like it did years ago. I make my own comfy pants & shorts from knits, so I do this alot. I use my serger to attach the elastic to the edge of the fabric. I fold it in quarters, pin in place, stretch & serge. Then, using regular sewing machine, I fold the waistband down, pin at seams to keep it straight, stretch & sew.
