Excellent! Thank you.
Would the iron mender work on baby needle cord?
I’m planning on replacing normal elastic with buttonhole elastic in the waistband of some children’s skirts and trousers. ❤

great explanation thank you!!

What type of elastic is that with the holes in it? Where can I buy it?

[@RepairWhatYouWear]

It's called Buttonhole Elastic, usually in black or white. It should be available at most haberdashery stores and online. Hope this is helpful.
