Sewing in elastic materials

[frualeydis]

I'm just about to cut my bathing suit in two and add a piece of similar fabric to make it fit over my belly. My experiences with elastic materials are not good, my old battered machine hates them.
Wish me luck!

Good luck!

I love sewing stretchy materials. I've made a couple of skating dresses and the material is so forgiving (as long as it's not ultra-slippery or something). I think the suit will come out fine.
