If you’re making quite a bit of tape, the tube method is the way to go.

Thanks so much for watching 🥰

[@erinaceus]

This project is really beautiful! I always learn so much from your videos - I had no idea that I could use elastic in my bobbin... Thank you for the video and the PDF!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thank you so much!! Happy sewing! 🥰

[@SparrowStockwell]

I didn’t know that, either!

[@jadedelarge8929]

Yes, her videos are the best. One tip that I just learned with my new sewing machine is to have two bobbins, one set up with the right tension for elastic and another one for regular sewing. Instead of changing the tension with a screwdriver. It just makes it easier, I think.
But I am new at this.

[@nolinegilbert4582]

Great .I will try

[@DowntownTailoring]

Sure 😊

[@prathapratikshya.7306]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@DowntownTailoring]

[@lillyk2178]

😍♥️♥️♥️

[@lovesidhuj]

Hi, where did you get the fabric from. Thanks

[@DowntownTailoring]

I had it on my stash!

[@kathyburt3294]

do you just use the elastic in the bobbin and regular thread on top?

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yes! That's right. And don't forget to reduce the bobbin tension a little bit 😉

[@marilynpotts62]

how would you make one for a size 3? thank you want to make for 3 grandaughters

[@michellemoore899]

Is this one size fit all?

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yes. It goes from small to XL 🙂

[@erinaceus]

I have a question. Now that summer is here, I like to wear shorts and skorts. But, I often find the legs ride up in the crotch area. Can you perhaps show us how to address this problem? The shorts I have are cotton material, but the skorts are made of the stretchy nylon material. I always feel so embarrassed by how I look and having to tug them down. Thank you for any suggestions or help you can provide!

[@DowntownTailoring]

This is a hard one. But I noticed wearing shorts a little bit below our thighs rub each other, helps a lot. Let me know if you try it!

[@erinaceus]

@@DowntownTailoring Thank you for the reply!

[@mariasoto1528]

What would the measurements be for 12 year old girls?

[@DowntownTailoring]

For a 12 years old, start with 2 rectangles 40" by 35" (instead 44 by 37 1/2)".
For the back collar use instead 3/4" by 4 1/2.
For front 6 1/2" by 4 1/2".
And the waistline line mark would be at 13" instead of 14 1/4".
Then follow all the steps in the same way. This will fit her for all her teenage years!

[@mariasoto1528]

@@DowntownTailoring Thank you so much ,I will start them today😃
