And if u need ideas just google Kandi the internet is full of good ideas.

You can purchase cheap elastic cord and tie your own leg loop elastics.

I actually buy fold over elastic like

This

And make my own. The ones sold in stores only want to go around twice, but I like them to go around three times and be tight. I untied one of the premade goody brand ones and added about an inch and a half or so. I had to make a few to figure out my perfect length. I then used a sharpie to mark it on my ruler so I never forget lol.

Also I'm rediscovering my love for scrunchies they really are awesome and sturdy as hell.

This looks good! With some hot glue it'll be perfect! Width of the ribbon might be a bit smaller, but it's pretty close.

I had this same problem what I did was add an extra snap closure to my pads so i can do them up more narrow across the gusset of my underwear. It does mean paying out for the tool to do it and the snaps but it does mean you can adjust any pad you buy to fit better.

I brought this set

(I don't know how to link so I hope that works)

I'm sure you can find something similar the US if that is where you are from. I watched a video on youtube on how to use the tools and stuff it was really simple one I saw someone do it.

I know a lot of pads come with two snap closures anyway to adjust to different underwear sizes it might be worth looking at pictures of those to get an idea of placement.

I hope this helps and I hope you find a solution

Looks like they just glued elastic banding to the other side of the felt circle. Quick Amazon search yielded this

Perhaps something like this?

I see. I said this to someone yesterday but have you thought about a mouse with some additional buttons?

Having your main rotation at your thumb changed everything for me.

For example* (sorry for the size of this link, I'm commuting an using my phone)

I honestly don't really think mastery is something attainable with a mouse only? Could be wrong of course. Anyone?

You could add something like this to the top inside to help them stay up.

Glad it was helpful! I was given like 15 Fuzzibunz perfect size Mediums and the elastics were all super relaxed, poop was constantly escaping out the legs. It was my bedtime project for two months and I still haven't fixed up the smalls because I got BURNT OUT on sewing elastics, but the mediums all fit great now because of this method.

Make sure you use heat resistant elastic for longevity (I used this, which is resistant up to like 199 F or something way hotter than my hot wash), and a non-wicking thread, like rayon or poly. And avoid poking through the PUL the best you can, you should be able to attach the new elastic to the old elastic and microfleece layers securely, then just stitch up the new little hole in the fleece, all without seeing through the outer layer of PUL. A couple pokes here and there aren't terminal, but if it's a lot of pokes you might end up leaking through your needle holes.

hmm... well in the first diagram I'm thinking that 2.0 is either 2 inches or 2 centimeters (cm) that being said I suppose that you're out side of the US so Metric is the big system being used. I'd go with centimeters (cm) now that being said lets presume that we're working metrics. Which makes the 7.0, 7 centimeters from the edge of the seam of the white and green part. Going down further, the 1 is the 1.0 cm from the edge of the seam allowance. I'm guessing the pattern doesn't have that built in so you must add that on plus the numbers listed in the pattern. Which seems like a lot of work to cut the extra bits... I would look in to double pointed darts


In the green bit I'm thinking you'll need two cut of the fabric so the 1 is one piece and the 2 is the other one you need. At the bottom you see how they want you to connect them together.

As for the 2,0 and the 3,5.... ya got me...I don't have any ideas what they're for.

Swimsuit fabric is what you should look for other wise the chlorine in the pool will kill it.

Also special elastic too.

After some internet searching and more discussion with mom, I think it's doable because I made an assumption that it turns out isn't true.

I assumed you wouldn't be able to find elastic of the right width with two pre-finished edges, and would have to cut down a larger piece and finish the edges yourself. I have since found some already finished that I think will work.

I found some elastic of a probably comparable width here (7 7/8" wide, they also sell 6") or on Amazon here (7 7/8", or 6" here). The back panel on my knee pads is 6.5" tall, and the back panel on my elbow pads are about just over 5" tall, but I have a size small set.

The type of elastic you'd need for the straps can be found here (on sale/clearance) or just about anywhere else. All of my pads use the same 1.25" wide strap, and that's a very popular size of elastic. I linked the cheapest/first google result.

With elastic that's the right size, the only sewing involved will be sewing the panels to the front of the pads, the straps to the panels, and the velcro to the straps.

When I bought my set a couple of months ago, I bought it here and they were cheaper with free shipping. It's not enough savings to pay for the fabric, but it helps.

We also double checked to make sure you can get the pads turned inside out, which you need to be able to do to sew on the back panels, and it's possible.

My mom asked where you live and said she'd do the sewing for you if you're nearby, so feel free to PM me even though that's a long shot. I can also get more measurements if you want them, like total strap length or whatever, or ask my mom any other questions.

It's a Titanwolf gaming mouse.
I've had no problems with it since I got it for christmas!

I have used this elastic on lingerie before. It works really well, but under certain conditions when your skin is just moist enoug, it will make a slight squeaking sound. 💕D https://www.amazon.com/Elastic-Silicone-Gripper-Webbing-Non-Slip/dp/B072FNPCQ2

You can buy them just about anywhere. I buy them from amazon
