A very good use! I'm currently living on the stuff (expanding waistline due to pregnancy). Also useful in childrens clothes in the waistline.


My maternity trousers have the elastic free at both left and right, with a button each side for adjustment - the first thing I did was sew the ends of the elastic down so it won't vanish into the waistband when I unbutton it!
