One of the most useful items you will find in our Haberdashery department is elastic. For years this has only ever been available in black and white with the occasional roll of nude also available however recently we have added a range of coloured elastics which have seemed to been a hit with our customers. [caption id="attachment_8861" align="alignleft" width="300"]Coloured Elastic Haberdashery - coloured elastic[/caption] Coloured elastic is a particularly popular Haberdashery item with people who are making items for children and our new coloured elastic is especially good for making waistbands for skirts and shorts that are uncovered and visible. They are 20mm in width and available in seven different bright colours including cerise, yellow, turquoise and red. They are comfortable to be worn against the skin which makes them again ideal for children yet they are still strong and durable. These elastics can be bought by the metre or by the roll suiting both small and large projects. Another elastic in our Haberdashery range is our new head band elastic which comes in both plain colours and with a glitter effect. These are perfect for making little girls' hair accessories and are available in some lovely pastel colours. Again, these can be purchased by the metre or by the full roll so whether you are making one hairband or twenty we have something to suit you. These elastics can be made into a hairband on their own as just a strip of elastic sewn at the bottom to create a band or can be embellished with some of our ribbon embellishments by sewing bows and flowers in a cluster on the side of the elastic or across the whole length of the elastic. We would love to see your creations made from our new coloured elastics. Please get in touch if you have made something and we can add your pictures to our Facebook page.
