Today's party kick's off a week long celebration of Fold-Over-Elastic (FOE) & all it's fabulous uses. What is FOE? An amazing cross between ultra soft elastic and bias tape. Great for edges of necklines, hems, cloth diapers & underwear. But it's uses don't quit there - headbands, necklaces, ruffles, decorative trims and more.
Not only does it make a soft finish, it can also add stretch, shaping & gathers without the need for baste stitching, special presser feet or extra elastic. This little lady's wearing hers in 3 different ways & I'll be showing you how to do them all!
We're celebrating this week's featured item with a fabulous giveaway sponsored by:
This online shop is THE place for all your fold-over-elastic needs. They offer loads of gorgeous colors, finishes & widths all by the yard.

I'm really glad I found this link today! I came over because of one pretty thing, then saw the giveaway link. I finally found some PUL in a chain store nearby, and will probably just buy it online next time... the chain store just didn't have much of a selection.
I'm going to be making baby diapers soon for my little bun that's due in February.
I'm kinda anti-follow, just because "followers" is a bit creepy, but I did "like" FOE your diaper on facebook. http://www.facebook.com/foeyourdiaper?v=wall
