I use a regular elastic, not the clear plastic stuff. For the kid's swimsuits I don't pay much attention to the elastic type as I don't expect the swimmers to need to last multiple years. Having said that, some did last a while back when they were doing swim school in chlorinated pools.Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-31200757122704463952022-01-18T11:40:28.310+11:002022-01-18T11:40:28.310+11:00They look very suitable and hope everyone had the ...They look very suitable and hope everyone had the best of time on the Qld beaches.

I've tried a bunch of different needles on the swim elastic and it just seems to make them bounce back up without going through - any tips?Magpie Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164611214135944133noreply@blogger.com
