Waist band repair

Here is a nice faux leather pants whose elastic has gone... well, bad. 

Essentially, the elastic band was not sewn securely enough, so with wear, it broke at the seam.
I took out enough stitches to access the inner elastic band and replaced the elastic band with a new one. 
Now, my client can enjoy this pair of pants again.
