I have some wool sweaters I want to make into Longies. Can I make a casing and put some elastic in there?

Thanks,
Allison

i just tried this myself last week. it worked great except i didn't make the rise tall enough and had to sew on an extra strip of fabric for the waist band and elastic to go in.. And i kind of messed it up, but next time it should work great i have a pattern around here i will see if i can send it.
