Methods in order of appearance:
1. Front & back waistbands sewn separately, side seams are the last step
2. Front & back waistbands sewn on the round, reversed, elastic on the back threaded last
3. Front and waistband sewn on the round, traditionally right sides together with a stitch in the ditch for less bulk
4. Back waistband has channels and smaller elastic is used. Then the front waistband is sewn to the back waistband and you have one you sew on the round to the garment
5. Front waistband uses the main fabric and is interfaced (rectangle or curved) and the back is a heavy knit with at least 10% spandex and good recovery (half a yoga waistband), no elastic needed.
