2" Knit Elastic, White, 2 yd

This is the perfect elastic for waistbands—it really does keep its width when you stretch it, which made sewing my daughter’s pajama shorts so much easier. The comfort is noticeable even against bare skin.

I needed a soft elastic for a swimsuit project, and this knit version is curl resistant and stays flat even after washing. It handled the leg bands perfectly without narrowing when stretched.

I used this to add some stretch to a waistband on a sundress, and the knit texture made it much more comfortable against my skin than typical elastic. It’s soft and doesn’t curl up while you’re sewing, which saved me a lot of frustration.
