How can you stretch elastic waistbands that are too tight?
The possibility of expanding an elastic waistband depends on a couple of things. First, does the rest of the garment fit (bust, hips)? Secondly, is the elastic in the waistband loose or sewn in place. If the elastic is loose, the process will be much easier: in the inside of the garment find a place where you can open the casing about 2"-3" so you can gain access to the elastic; pull out a loop of the elastic; secure the elastic on both sides of the opening with pins so the elastic doesn't slip back in the casing; cut the elastic; add a piece of elastic to expand your waistband, remembering to allow approximately 1/2" of overlap on both ends & sew securely; now you can remove the pins securing the elastic & allow the elastic to slip back into the casing; stitch the casing closed. However, if your waistband elastic is stitched in place all the way around, as is the case with many ready made garments, you will have to remove all the stitching first before adding more elastic, remembering to allow approximately 1/2" of overlap on both ends; carefully pin the elastic back in place and resew in place with an elastic stitch that will not break but stretch with the elastic.

When sewing a waistband how do you determine how much elastic to use?
You use 1" more than the waist you're sewing for. This allows for a 1" overlap to sew the elastic together securely. Answer two: Per this entry from Threads Magazine online: The length of elastic should be shorter than the waist seam (after seams and darts are sewn). How much shorter depends on the combination of fabric, lining and elastic. On lightweight fabric with lightweight lining, use clear elastic, and pull the elastic gently as you sew it in place. If the fashion fabric is corduroy or cotton twill with a medium lining, use braided elastic, and stretch the elastic more as you sew it in place because heavy or firm fabrics put more pressure on the elastic. http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/3740/how-to-shop-for-elastic
