Elastics

The right elastic can make a big difference to the fit, comfort and finish of a handmade garment. Whether you're sewing waistbands, finishing underwear or making swimwear, choosing an elastic suited to your fabric and project is an important part of getting a good result.

Choosing the right elastic

Before purchasing, consider the intended use, required stretch and recovery, width and fabric type. Not all elastics are interchangeable, so it's worth checking the individual product details to make sure your chosen elastic is suitable for your project.

Whether you're making underwear, children's clothing, activewear or everyday wardrobe staples, having the right elastic on hand makes sewing that little bit easier.
