Question by da goddess: making a halloween costume, need to know how to measure elastic?
I am making a halloween costume for my infant grandson. I work for a chocolate company and want to make him to be a bag of MM’s . I need to know how much elastic to put across the bottom. I can’t remember the elastic ruling. Is it half the elastic to make it snug or double the elastic of the width of the garment. I want it to fit like baby nightgowns. thanks help quickly would be appreciated.
