Designer's Choice Black Braided Elastic (1/2" x 1.25y)

This is a medium-width elastic band in black, offering versatility and strength for a variety of sewing tasks, especially on dark fabrics. Half-inch elastic is commonly used in waistbands for skirts or pants, medium-depth casings, or even for gathering sleeves and leg openings that need a bit more support. Being braided, this elastic has a secure grip and tends to become slightly narrower as it stretches, which helps it stay in place inside a casing and maintain consistent tension. The black color is ideal for projects using dark or vivid fabrics where a white elastic might be visible or could show through; it ensures that even if the elastic is stretched near its limit or glimpsed, it won't catch the eye. This elastic has strong recoil, ensuring that garments or items pull back into shape after being stretched (so your waistband won't stretch out over time). With 1.25 yards in the package, there's enough for one garment waistband or a few smaller applications like sleeve cuffs or leg bands. It's a reliable notion for giving stretch to clothing and accessories, blending seamlessly with dark color schemes and holding up through lots of wear and washings.
