How should I do this?

10 years ago

If I want to use an old pair of pants for a pattern I assume I have to take them all apart, then mark seams, etc. If the waistband is just part of the slacks, do I have to take off the elastic part itself? The waistband is not separate. I would like to hear how others would do it? Thanks for any hints. Barb
