Uncover the old rubber band. To do this, carefully cut the seam in an inconspicuous area on the inside of the waistband with the scissors or the seam splitter so that the fabric is not damaged.

Now pull on the other end of the old rubber band, so that the new rubber band is pulled in piece by piece.

As soon as the knot becomes visible at the beginning of the new rubber band, the knot can be loosened and the old rubber band can be used for textile recycling or for tying tomatoes :-)

If both edges are sewn together, do not completely pull through the thread at the last stitch, but catch the forming loop with your finger.

Now stretch the waistband so far that the elastic band gradually disappears into the waistband due to the tension.
