Nice!!! Your teaching style is A-1!!! You explain ALL of the steps, and you don’t zoom through your tutorials without silly music and pointing to things. It’s nice to see videos without the “tiktok/Instagram” type editing. Thank you!!!!
Thanks this will help me restyle some dresses I got from the thrift store where the bottom half fits but not the top, so I’m gonna cut them in half and put a band on the top of the skirt portion!😊
Wow, tricks of the trade! Glad I found you. I have an expensive pair of Nike sports underwear that had elastic that stretched badly over time. Now you gave me the missing way to attach replacement elastic so I can get more use out of this garment. Thanks! Great tutorial.
Thank you so much for such a great tutorial! You got straight into it, didn't waffle on about nothing and were so easy to follow for a beginner like me! Definitely subscribed to your channel and can't wait to watch all your videos.
I sewed a pair of pants like this a few years ago and just guessed at how to attach the elastic. Wish I would have had this video back then.
I've been following you for a long time now. You've shared so many great sewing tips and ideas! There's a wonderful variety that would include something for everyone and every project. Can't thank you enough for all of these videos. You have definitely helped me to improve my sewing and given me many ideas for new projects. So nice to see you have some awesome sponsors. I wish you continued success and hope you get back at least as much as you give. Thank you!
Thank you so much! It's so nice to hear that our videos are appreciated. I'm glad to hear that your sewing is improving and I know you'll just get better and better :)
Thanks for explaining & showing all the steps to putting on premade elastic waistband! I have watched a lot trying to find video where they are using the pre-made elastic. You do a great job of showing the different steps of the sewing part & that’s great for me❣️❣️👏👏👏
Glad it was helpful! :)
Great tutorial! I’m a novice who takes on projects that are beyond my skills and your tutorials have been a great resource for me when I get confused. Thank you! ❤️
you can do it! :D
Same here! Lol!
Thank you for the information. I love that edges were actually turned in and it was a very clean looking finish. Great video 😁
Thank you for this Awesome video! I took the waistband off my jeans and added a very wide elastic using your skill and the pant is fits perfect!
I just finished a dress with an elastic waist and I used this method. Thank you for your lessons
I love this method. I was making my maxi skirts with this type of band but wanted it to look neat. will do this one on the next one I do. thanks again.
great video, thanks. My skirt is lined....a bit more complicated but both layers are very thin so i hope this technique will work.
You just saved me a lot of tears! Thank you! I'm a novice sewer and needed to attach elastic to my daughter's circle skirt. I watched this a couple times and I did it! =D
yay! I'm so glad it worked out for you :)
I just upcycled a (once favorite) exercise tights and they look better without the bulk! I had to remove the elastic that deteriorated badly (which took longer than the actual sewing) and replaced it with a soft, 2" wide elastic that is even comfier than the previous thin elastic that dug on my waist, plus I didn't have to rebuild or add a waistband. Win! Win! Thank you for this super valuable tutorial--I can look for more bottoms to upcycle :)
Looks so much neater than having the elastic in a casing! Thanks for a great tutorial!
when you flipped it out my eyes went like 👀 wow.. Magic 😄😄😄
just sub'd😍
thanks for subbing! :)
Really like this technique. I was having trouble making everything neat and catching all the fabric.
I totally forgot I saved this video! I found some beautiful 1” neon pink elastic with lace on it that I wanted to sew as exposed elastic to peasant sleeves I made and couldn’t find a good TH-cam video, until I was looking through my sewing playlist and found this one! Thank goodness I did. Your tips are a lifesaver! Thanks :)
I'm so glad you found me again :)
I've just discovered your videos! I just completed a skirt with an exposed elastic waistband, and it was so easy b/c of your clear instructions! After many years away from the sewing machine, and loaning it to someone and never getting it back, I have just purchased a new simple sewing machine and loving it! Years ago, I only made simple skirts and dresses, and a few home items, but nothing advanced. Recently, when searching for tutorials for help, I found you! Thanks so much for being a good teacher, having quality videos that I can see and understand, and for making a level of help for free!! Now, do you have any tutorials for making doorstops from fabric? I've found several online, but the instructions are not clear for me. Thanks again!!
I'm so glad you're enjoying our tutorials! :) Sorry, we don't have any doorstop tutorials yet but maybe someday.
I have used your method twice and love it! Thank you 💥💃🏻
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Is it necessary to use needle for strech fabrics or will the regular one do the job
I tried your method and i liked it. Thank you for posting😊
Great and easy to follow tutorial. Thank you. I am confident I can do this.
of all the similar videos, yours is the best!
aw, thank you :)
Great tutorial! Easy, clean and effective method...I love to wear my winter thermo leggings again! Waistline was to low but now they are perfect ✂️💎
Brilliant, great tutorial I now know perfectly how this is done. Thank you
When joining the ends of the elastic, you can butt them together and do a zigzag stitch to reduce bulk~
Thank you.... like the lights came on. Thank you 🤩
I knew I was doing something wrong! Thank you so much :D The next skirt I make for my daughter will be much less scratchy. :D
Right now I love you! :-) I have never done this before, and now I have a method witch is doing my sewing complete!
Thank you, this is exactly the tutorial I was looking for!!
I used your method and it worked great,
Thankyou so much for sharing this. I tried this after and found it very helpfull.
Thanks so much for your kind explanation.
Really well explained. Thank you
Thank you for this tutorial!! I've made several skirts using this and they've all turned out great!😊
yay! I'm so glad to hear that it worked out for you :D
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Perfect explanation, made it so easy, and the end result is just what I was after. 👍🏾
nice! I'm so glad it worked out for you :)
What a great idea. Made my first pants using your technique. Easy Peasy. Thanks. I plan on doing this technique from now on. Thanks again👍
You explained this well. Thank you
Lovely clear instructions!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome instructions 🎉congratulations, saved and subscribed 🙏👍👏
This tutorial was just what i needed. Thanks! Nice an easy to follow too.
is it mandatory to do the "zig zag" method when attaching the elastic? i do not have a sewing machine, so if i do a regular stitch will it not work? thank u!
I think if you use the regular stitch it won't allow for any stretch in the elastic, it'll just tear the stitches.
Great EXCEPT I did not understand your quick ending where you said you could use a different method so it looked nicer on the inside (no raw edge)? Also WHAT KIND OF ELASTIC DID YOU USE? (CK has a comfortable elastic waistband with a soft inside for mens' boxers. Where could one buy it without the logo?)
Was your elastic 1.5 inch wide?
Thank you, this worked a treat for me
Excellent!!...at last a good technique for doing this!
Simply amazing.... I love your idea!!
so easy! great video! thank you for sharing
Thanks so much, a perfect tutorial.
Nice video. Can this be used for regular boxer shorts for men? And is this elastic 2 or 3"?
My sewing machine is a 1956 Singer lightweight 222. It has many features, but not cross stitch.
I have hand sewn, with button hole stitch, the raw edge of my garment.
Can I not sew the wide elastic to the top edge of the front of the material, and then sew again at the fold please?
Wonderful! Do I need to have a certain type of needle? My first time, the needle broke !
Oh no! You should be using a ball point needle at least 80 or 90.
Great technique different to my usual way. Thank you Tova.
this was the best tip ever. I already did it and it was easy. Thanks so much 👍
Beautiful idea thanks Mama’s 🙏🙏
Great tutorial. Thank you.
Great tutorial
superb idea
I love your finger nails. They look beautuful
This was a well explained, informative video. Thank you very much!
Love the finished affect but i Just bought a size 3 times to large skirt as it was brand new with original labels on it but to big around elasticated waist so if i bought a coloured elastic could i do the same method but gather the original waist to fit proper size elastic to fit my waist and presume you can buy the coloured elastics on ebay?
Will this work using a 1” elastic as well? Or would it look funny? I can’t find this wide elastic. Where did you buy yours?
There's no rule that it can't work with 1" fabric although it's up to you on whether you like how it looks. I got mine at JoAnn's. It's in the same section as the elastic but on the very bottom shelf. You can also purchase it online.
thank you i can find any video give this explanation like you good luck
Thank you!! Will definitely be trying this when I make my first maxi skirts.
yay, glad you like this technique :)
Awesome tute 👏👍🏼
Great technique!!!
Awesome, thank you for your sharing
Just what I was looking for. Thank You! Great tutorial
clear and simple! thank you!
Omg this is so easy I love the idea,I must try this thank you
This method is awesome! I love your videos. Your nails are so pretty, by the way ☺️
Thanks! Very helpful!
Oh I really like this! Thank you! Just what I was looking for. I've been following you for a long time.
Great work
You make it look easy👏🏻
Thank you very much for this video! Please tell us what size for the attaching skirt?
do you mean what width of elastic do you use for a skirt? It's really up to you, but I'd use 2" or wider.
you are a great teacher!
Thank you so much!
Great method, thanks
I can't wait to try this! Thanks
Hi guys , i need help!
Can you guys tell me if men’s undergarments (briefs & boxer briefs) have knit or woven waistband? Please explain why too! Thank you :)
Just what I need now. Thank you so much for teaching us amateurs... :) Thank you again. So grateful to found you here on youtube.
What if you don’t want a zig zag stitch visible from the outside?? Not that it does look good on these pants but I’m sewing a waist band to a pair of leggings and I’m not sure if the zig zag will look weird?
Amazing! And really looks good!!✨
Wow just what I needed great video!!!
I loved your video! I will be making me a new skirt!
Pleaseee Help Me!! How would I do this with a cover stitch machine??
Can't wait to try this. Will it work on none stretch fabric also?
Yes, I'm using non-stretch fabric in this demo :)
If the stitch is sewn while the fabric/elastic is at their maximum, the stitch is never stretched, only compressed, right? So, a zigzag or stretch stitch isn't required.
This is great, where do you usually get your waistband elastic?

U r amazing teacher 🤩🤩
Would this work with a 2cm wide elastic for a baby skirt?
Please let me know what type of elastic I need to purchase, is it something special? I would like a softer feel against the skin.
I just used something like this: www.joann.com/dritz-2-soft-waistband-elastic-black/15377252.html
Great
What is the difference between the length of elastic band and waiste mesurement.
Perfect! Thank you!
wow this is even more easyer than the video's i see before.. :D :D TNX
How would you repair a garment like this once the elastic is worn out?
What kind/brand of elastic are you using? I would like to use this technique for my baby, would it be soft enough?
I purchased this elastic at JoAnn's, I think it might be the dritz brand.
Thats the way i want to do it. Great vid
Hi, why when I did this using the zig zag stitch...the elastic won't stretch where the stitch was.....please help anyone
