1/2" Knit Elastic, White

I was pleasantly surprised how well this elastic resists curling when I was sewing it into a waistband—no frustrating twists. It also held its width nicely under tension, which made the final seam lie flat and look neat.

This 1/2" knit elastic is perfect for my sewing projects—it doesn't curl at all when I stretch it, which made hemming my daughter's dance leotards so much easier. The soft white color blends right in too.

I've made three nursing pillow covers and a set of pajama shorts with this, and the curl resistance is real—it lays totally flat through the wash every time. Stretches nicely without narrowing, which keeps the seams from puckering on the leg bands.
