Getting elastic right: Why not all elastic is created equal #114
Streams straight from the publisher. PodNod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
Johanna and Malena unravel the surprisingly complicated world of elastic, and hopefully they didn't stretch this topic too far!
This elastic deep dive covers everything from comfy waistbands and sports bras to swimwear and activewear. Plus lots of practical tips for measuring elastic, joining the ends neatly, preventing twisting and rolling, and even how to use elastic for gathers.
Johanna also explains why she almost always reaches for knitted elastic these days, and why clear elastic deserves a permanent place in every sewing room.
Let's just say this conversation has plenty of stretch!
