Step 10Elasticize the casing.
If you plan to pull the shirt up over your belly, measure a piece of elastic the right length, and slide it through (the ready-made) casing that used to be the hem of the shirt. If you plan to fold the shirt down under your belly, measure around your hips and do the same thing. You will probably need to make a small opening in the hem to do this.

I am confused about this part. I believe I understnad that the bottom of the tee shirt will now be the top of the pants, but how do you get the elastic in the shirt and make it stay? THen do you sew the elastic together? Could I just use a belly band instead of a tee shirt?

You have to open up a little of the original hem of the shirt, then thread the elastic in and sew it together in a big loop, then sew that part of the shirt closed again. And yes, you could use a belly band. That would be a lot easier. :)
