HELP!
I have 2″ wide elastic and i made a casing for the elastic, and tried sewing the top stitch lines while stretching the fabric, and it didnt bunch at all. Then I tried basting and that didnt work either.
Please help I need to finish this before xmas.
Thank you

try holding a steam iron over the waistband area and steam, steam, steam. Hopefully this draws the elastic up.
Christmas has come and gone - I am new to Reader's Closet. Here is my suggestion, should you ever want to make the waistband again. Make your casing, sew 1/4" or 1/2" rows and then insert 1/4" or 1/2" elastic into each row. I've gather the bottom of a corduroy jacket this way and it worked out very well.
