Does anyone know where I can buy fitted sheet elastic in Sydney? I live and work in the CBD. I have gone to Lincraft on York St a few times over the last few months but they don't have it. I have also tried the store in Alexandria. The young sales assistants weren't even aware there was such a thing! There is plenty of elastic for drawcords but that is too bulky in the middle.
In the absence of fitted sheet elastic, what is a good alternative? I have thought about getting some 25mm wide elastic and using that. Any smaller and it would be hard to fold in half and keep in place when sewing.
I know it's a lot of trouble to go to, but the sheets are good cotton and it's only the fitted sheet that needs new elastic. I guess I'm just not part of this new throwaway and get something new society!
TIA for any suggestions.
