Renewing Elastic

By far the most challenging project in April's mending workshop was a pair of pants with six channels of elastic in the waistband. The waistband had been falling down because the elastic was worn out. We opened each channel, cut out the worn lengths of elastic and tied the still stretchy ends together. Then we restitched the waistband. The pants stay up now!
