Elastic Tape

Elastic Tape by the Metre

Elastic tape is one of those basics every sewing room needs, and we stock it in the widths and colours that come up most often on the workbench. Order elastic tape by the metre or grab a full package if you sew in bulk. Whether you're finishing a waistband, adding stretch to a cuff, or reinforcing a skirt hem, there's a suitable width in this range. We work with both woven and standard elastic tape, so you can match the stretch and firmness to the fabric you're using.

The collection covers narrow tapes for lightweight garments up through wider bands built for waistbands that need to hold their shape. Colours range from plain white to a full set of shades, useful when the elastic needs to disappear into a coloured fabric rather than stand out.

18mm elastic tape for pants and skirts

The 18mm woven elastic tape is a workhorse width. It's what most sewists reach for when making a pants elastic or skirt elastic, since it's wide enough to sit flat without rolling but not so bulky that it adds unwanted bulk under a waistband casing. Woven construction keeps it from twisting inside the channel, which matters for garments that get washed and worn repeatedly.

15mm elastic tape in 20 colours

For projects where the elastic tape needs to match the fabric, or at least not clash with it, the 15mm elastic tape comes in 20 different colours. This width works well for lighter garments, children's clothing, and any seam where a narrower band is enough to do the job. Having that many colour options on hand saves a trip to match trims separately.

40mm elastic tape for waistbands

Need something wider and softer? The 40mm elastic tape is a soft-quality band, also available in different colours, and it's particularly suited to waistbands that need to sit comfortably against the body without digging in. Think loungewear, skirts with wide elastic casings, or garments where comfort matters as much as hold.
