Sew with fancy elastics: Practical and surprisingly useful #127

Sew with fancy elastics: Practical and surprisingly useful #127

Fancy elastic sounds like something that should come with a tiny handbag and an attitude problem, but it’s actually surprisingly useful. In this episode, Johanna and Malena look at fold-over elastic, stretch lace, picot and plush elastic, and where each works best.


They talk about stretch and recovery, choosing the right width, testing before committing, and different ways to attach elastic with a regular machine, serger or coverstitch. Because apparently, even elastic has a dress code.


From necklines to leg openings, there are plenty of ideas to try, and a good excuse to get a bit fancy with your next project.
