How to Sew an Elastic Hem

[@BigbangG5]

this is a life saver. As a plus size women its so hard to find well fitted clothes and when I do find them there is always the problem of my lower belly popping out. This will give me a peace of mind and comfrt that the tops I wear will stay where I want them to and not need to worry every 2 seconds and pull them down. Thank you

I'm not sure why you didn't film closer to the work on the machine. I saw the top of the sewing machine and your head.

[@rosainecalmeyer4428]

Yes, I wanted to see how you stretched everything

Jessica I love your videos! Hoping for many more! Is there a pattern of yours that calls for this?

[@melissanugent3718]

Will this same technique work with a more narrow piece of elastic and hem?

[@coppercreekpatterns]

Yes it will!

Thank you for this! I am trying to make a cover for a microphone, and I cannot fine anywhere that talks about how to calculate the extra fabric used for elastic bands. For example, if the tightened cover / elastic itself is a circumference of 7.75, how long should the fabric be? Obviously more but I don’t know how much more
