Cut two 30cm pieces of the bra strap elastic. Attach a ring to the fabric part of the strap and a slide to the elastic.

Finish the back curve of the band with the free end of the elastic.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, how do you sew elastic trim? <iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-top:25px;width:100%;height:420px;\"
