Tack.
Fold the upper edge of the trousers over to the wrong side all round the top of the trousers. The finished depth of the front waistband and back casing is 2.5 cm (1 in). Tack, leaving an opening at the side seams. Using a safety pin, insert the elastic through the back waist at the side seams. Tack at each side seam to hold. Machine.
