This is the type and size of elastic that is used in most of The Sewing Workshop patterns .  \n Tape Measure-Use a tape tape measure that is printed in inches on both sides and starts with the number “1” on both sides at  \nopposite ends.  \nPreparation  \nHave the student wear something comfortable and similar to what they normally wear under their clothes.  \nCut a length of elastic a few inches larger than the waist. Wrap it around the waist and pin in place.  \nAsk the student to position it where it is comfortable at their natural waistline.  \nNOTE: This elastic remains in place until the measuring is complete.  \nMeasurement Chart  \n1.
