Trucraft – Coloured Flat Elastic – White – 25mm Wide
The Trucraft White Coloured Flat Elastic is the essential foundation for any sewing room. While "Coloured" usually implies a rainbow of options, this crisp, bright white is a fundamental staple for professional dressmaking and home repairs. Engineered for versatility, this 25mm wide elastic provides the perfect balance of strength and flexibility, making it the go-to choice for hidden waistbands, internal casings, and light-colored garments where a dark elastic would show through.
Supplied on a professional 10m reel, this elastic is built for performance. Unlike standard craft-grade elastics, Trucraft’s flat weave is designed to maintain its integrity over time. The 25mm width is the industry standard for comfort, offering enough surface area to hold a garment securely without folding, twisting, or cutting into the skin. Whether you are creating fresh white linens, nursery items, or schoolwear, this elastic provides a clean, professional, and durable finish.
Key Features & Benefits
Crisp Bright White: A clean, neutral white that is perfect for use with light-colored, sheer, or white fabrics without any "shadowing" or show-through.
Premium Non-Roll Weave: Constructed with a high-density flat weave that is specifically designed to resist curling and rolling inside a casing.
Reliable Stretch & Recovery: Features high-quality internal strands that provide a firm tension and excellent "snap-back," ensuring garments keep their shape after many wears.
Soft & Breathable: The polyester blend is smooth against the skin and allows for comfortable wear in all climates and garment types.
Neat 10m Reel: Neatly wound on a sturdy reel for easy dispensing, preventing the messy tangles often found with loose, bagged elastic.
Ideal Applications
Everyday Dressmaking: The standard choice for waistbands in skirts, trousers, and loungewear made from light-colored textiles.
Nursery & Baby Items: Ideal for creating gentle waistbands in bloomers, cloth diaper covers, and fitted crib sheets where hygiene and a clean look are paramount.
Schoolwear & Basics: Perfect for repairing or creating white school polos, PE shorts, and everyday undergarments.
Home Textiles: Use for creating fitted sofa covers, ironing board covers, or securing bed valances.
