[> Subject: I make my elastic about 1 inch shorter than the sw leg. I lap it over about 1/2 inch and sew it to make a circle. I start sewing the elastic in at the crotch,stretching it mostly at the butt. Use 3/8 in. elastic.

I also use a serger when putting in my elastic. Love it immensely. But it takes tons of practice to do it that way. If you have a serger and want to try it that way, let me know and I'll walk you thru it. You can email me or call 985-758-1751 anytime! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
