nifty tool/idea for turning a casing inside out

When you make a scrunchie or some such thing, after you stitch the long narrow casing (where elastic goes in) on the wrong side, how to turn it over to the right side? I tried to turn it over bit by bit but there's got to be a better way to do it.

I hope I'm clear.

thanks.

Lay a string inside the casing before sewing the two sides together and attach it to one of the ends....after sewing the casing sides, use the string to help turn it inside-out.

I've even used mine to make an eye-splice in some very small diameter marine double braid line. Mostly, I use it for pulling the loose end of a serged seam back into the seam to finish it.

I also love the Dritz tool, especially for small tubes, and spaghetti straps. But the long handle on the Dritz Loop Turner makes it a little unwieldy for some jobs. I also have a latch-hook tool which came with my knitting machine, and I use it all the time for pulling serge tails, etc. It's very much like:

I have the loop turner set near the bottom (blue plastic set). It works well for bigger items, but not spagetti straps.
