Home sewing essential that helps create neat waistbands and tidy craft finishes. Enjoy quicker fittings and professional-looking hems with Trimming Shop Elastic Band. Is the 50mm width and one-metre length suitable for your sewing kit?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Stretch Performance: 50mm-wide flat elastic with strong tensile elasticity, designed to recover to its original length after stretching
  • Best for: Dressmakers and home sewists making medium to larger garments, waistbands, wig bands and accessories
  • Not ideal for: Very narrow trims or applications that require industrial heavy-duty elastic

Flat elastic band, 50mm wide and supplied in a one-metre length. Polyester and rubber construction gives stretchable, durable performance suitable for a range of sewing and craft uses.


Secure Waistbands – With 50mm wide elastic band

A broad 50mm width increases fabric contact and the polyester-and-rubber weave supplies tensile elasticity within its allowable deformation, allowing reliable stretch and rebound. The band can return to near-original length after tension is released.

Create stable, comfortable waistbands that sit flat and reduce the need for continual adjustments during wear.

Durable Stretch and Recovery – Thanks to polyester and rubber construction

Polyester fibres combined with rubber strands form a stretch core that resists breaking while maintaining elasticity. The composition is described as sturdy and designed not to break easily under normal use.

Expect long-lasting elasticity that keeps garments performing and avoids frequent replacement.

Custom Fit for Any Project – With cut-to-length adjustability

The elastic cord can be trimmed to the exact length required and sewn into place, enabling use across different garment sizes and craft projects. Adjustable length means a single roll adapts to many tasks.

Quickly tailor lengths for waistbands, wig bands, wristbands and assorted DIY accessories.
