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

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.
