You mentioned it in a previous post and I ordered it immediately. I have made lots of boxer shorts for grandkids, sons in law and husband using this elastic, but I may be using it wrong. On your picture up above showing the inside elastic application, is the area that you are stitching through the elastic or the space without the elastic? I have always stitched through the four lines that are horizontal looking. It looks as though you are stitching on either side of those lines. Have I been stitching through the actual elastic area all these years? P.S. I love the idea of sewing the vertical lines at the seams of the waistband. Why don't I think of these things?Sewgrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359468032101537658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-89922421978618984072012-11-20T17:32:26.148-05:002012-11-20T17:32:26.148-05:00Hello, lurker of London here!

I have a fabric that sounds similar that I bought for a shirt and never used. I think you've just given me an inspiration for christmas gifts for my male friends. Thank you! I love the persian lamb coat.

I've been wanting a pair of classic men's style pajamas, but in cotton so they're not too hot (New York apartments are hot, right?). For some reason it hadn't occurred to me to make them myself (and I just keep going to bed in a T-shirt and cutoff stretch pants). I'd love to see what pattern you choose.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942455468832787000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-78294493310183816682012-11-20T10:35:55.326-05:002012-11-20T10:35:55.326-05:00Thanks, Victoria!
