I LOVE this stuff! It work beautifully for children's pants. I use7 inches less than the child's waistline. I use it on flannel pj pants, twill and corduroy and denim. For toddlers, it is VERY EASY to pull up and down to "go potty". For seniors, it is soft, non-binding, and again,"easy up". Because a casing is not needed, there is less bulk at the waistline. I sew a small strip of grosgrain ribbon in a loop around the overlap where the elastic ends are stitched together. This tells children where the "back" of the pants are.Using this method, I can complete children's shorts in 15 minutes..that includes cutting out time!Using denim or sturdy twill my 6 children "handed down" pants, pj's, and shorts over many seasons. ;) |
