Narrow, strong and supple: this 10 mm Restyle elastic is sold by the metre in white or black. Its slim width lets it disappear almost invisibly into a hem or casing, which makes it ideal for fine sewing work.

What do you use it for?

Thread it through the casing of pyjama bottoms, a child’s skirt or a cuff, or use it to replace a worn-out band in an old garment. To gather fabric, stitch it in under light tension. Upholsterers use it to keep a loose cover in place around a seat cushion. Black blends into dark textiles, white into light ones.

How much do you need?

Measure the waist or wrist, deduct a little so the band sits slightly taut, and add a few centimetres for the overlap. That way you order just enough.

Need it wider? The elastic collection continues with 15, 25, 40 and 50 mm. Matching sewing thread completes the job. Order online at Bladi.
