Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional in sewing, having Elastic in your kit is crucial. This stretchable and flexible fabric is made from rubber and wrapped in polyester, cotton, or nylon. Various types of Elastics are available to cater to specific tasks. For instance, flat Elastics are commonly used for waistbands and cuffs in dressmaking, adding structure to clothes, and improving comfort levels in skirts and trousers.

At our shop, we offer round Elastic in multiple widths, which is perfect for creating unique jewellery accessories such as necklaces, bracelets, and buttonhole loops. It is also ideal for dolls and baby clothes. On the other hand, shirring Elastic is perfect for creating a decorative effect on your garments while adding a little extra stretch and comfort to tops and dresses. We have an assortment of colours in 0.5mm shirring Elastic, and our range of Elastics comes in different widths, which can be cut to measure or purchased by the roll in our Haberdashery section.
