Increasing the height of a waistband on commercial pattern

[carrie whitehouseParticipant]

Hi, I have a trouser pattern with a waistband thickness of 7cm. I would like to double it to 14cms but the method I’ve tried means it doesn’t attach to the trousers properly and seems don’t match!
I’m learning and desperate to know the procedure, please can you help,
I’d be so grateful.
Best wishes
Carrie
Ps. I apologise if this is covered and I’m missing the point!

so I take it that your waistband pattern isn’t a standard rectangle? Is there a way you can upload an image to this page so I can at least see the shape of the pattern. It would help in giving me a visual. Thanks!
