 Dear Hauns1, Elastic bands

 Dear Hauns1,

Elastic bands differ in how much they stretch depending on their width and material. So each elastic is a bit different.

To make sure you have the right length, pass the elastic trough the garment casing, do a test fitting. Then draw out the excess amount, overlap the ends, then use a safety pin to secure it. Test for comfort and adjust the lenght if needed.

Dont forget the excess length for the overlap or if you want to tie it off.

Happy sewing
