This one's on the longish side, but I show you pretty much everything you need to know about using elastic in a waistband casing. We start with what kind of elastic to use (did you know there were different kinds?), some tips on pre-stretching and measuring, how to measure for and sew the casing, how to thread the elastic through and sew it up. I even show you a little trick I use to help kids put handmade clothes (with no tags) on the right way!
Come back tomorrow for the first clothing pattern here at Shiny Happy World - a super simple skirt. And it's free!
Happy sewing!
Best,
Wendi
I've struggled with elastic for some time now! Thanks for creating such a great tutorial video. Armed with this info, I'm going to attempt to sew things with elastic again! :)
