where to buy elastic
Does anyone know where I can get the elastic to make kids pants adjustable?
I need this for my skinny grands. they need longer pants but cant always find slims. thanks in advance |
Are you refering to the elastic that has the buttonholes in it?
If so, Newark Dressmaker Supply carries it...3 yds. for $2.60. |
There is also waist band elastic that has draw string in it already. It is sold by the yard in most fabric store to do jog pant waistlines or similar. I have taken in lots of slacks by taking a little tuck in the waistband with the sewing machine. If the pants have front pockets, I sew through the waistband with a 1/2 inch pleat to the inside. The extra fullness under the waistband goes into the pocket and isn't noticeable. When the child grows, you just clip out the little waistband pleat.
