alterations

I am a beginner and I need some help. I have a skirt with a waistband where the back part is elastic. The elastic has stretched out and needs to be replaced. How do I do this.

Is it cased elastic -- elastic that is loose inside a sort of tunnel

-- or is it sewn with lots of rows of stitching that go right through the elastic?

Alterations aren't my cuppa tea either. I've had quite a bit of luck shortening sleeves on jackets from the shoulder rather than the hem, should this come up again. Much easier than messing with the placket.
