I am planning on making younger DD more hospital scrubs. She asked me today if I could insert "one of those stretchy panels" like they are putting in the front of many RTW pants. I said, "Sure!". ;-) Stopped at the Mill End Store on my way home, they had beige Power Net at $11.99/yard, so I bought a (very generously cut) yard. The clerk didn't know anything about sewing with it. :-O
Has anyone here used it? I don't know whether the raw edges should be serged, turned and coverstitched, edged with narrow elastic, 5-step-zig-zagged, left alone, or.... ???
The panels will be cut side seam (under the pocket) to CF, with the CF edge sewn under the fly. Yes, she wants a zipper front, she is "tired of all-around-elastic, Mom." ;-} She is so grateful when I make her custom scrubs!
I know I could probably just do some experimenting, but at $12.00/yard I don't want to waste a lot of it.
Thanks,
Beverly
