There is a large needle that flutist use to clean the inside of their flute. I have used mine for years and can pull elastic through casings and turn things inside out in a flash. CQMadhatter

I have done this too, with one exception. Instead of using cord, I use a selvage edge left from something. I always have them sitting around and they are FREE!

I use the method described by folding a strip in half, then press the
raw edges 1/4", and top-stitch. Also like to use a batting strip inside. |
