Re: Elastic w/ buttonholes

I bought some 1/2 in wide elastic with buttonholes in it.  I know for
what purpose I bought it, but for what is it intended?  I bought it to
make extensions on those days I BLOAT and my pants don't fit; is that
the purpose?

I bought it off the roll at the shop so there are no instructions, I
couldn't ask the clerk because she doesn't speak English. If I asked in
German, I wouldn't understand her answer.

: Thought for the journey:

Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.


Expanding tummies is a good use for it. I used to see it in maternity things, and things made for kids with 'room for growth' built in. I used some myself for a maternity skirt and several pairs of trousers 12 years ago, and the rest of the roll for things James was bound to need adjusting... Last used a couple of weeks back in a 'needs room to grow' dance skirt. I've also found it invaluable for making approximate fit costumes adjustable.
