Designer's Choice Black Braided Elastic (3/8" x 1.75y)

This is a slim, strong elastic in a deep black color, ideal for use in darker fabrics or whenever you want the elastic to be inconspicuous. At 3/8 inch wide, this elastic is great for small casings like those in cuffs, necklines, or children's clothing waistbands. The narrow width and braided structure give it a firm stretch and allow it to easily slide through casings. Because it is black, it's perfect for garments that are dark-colored or black themselves — if the elastic peeks out slightly or is visible through an open weave, it will blend in rather than stand out. Braided elastic is durable and has a good grip within a casing; it stretches out to let you get into a garment comfortably and then springs back to hold the garment snugly in place. With 1.75 yards on the card, you get plenty to handle a couple of small projects or one bigger project like a waistband for a pair of sweatpants. Whether you're sewing dancewear, costumes, or everyday apparel, having black elastic on hand is crucial for dark fabric projects, and this braided elastic gives you the reliability and stretch needed for a polished finish.
