You can get clear elastic at Joanns. I don't think it's called lastin. I use the lastin to gather. There are different methods to gather as well.

2. I don't understand the reasoning on the lengths of lastin used. IOW, how do I know how long to cut it for my sized skirt? I think I explained it above but I cut the lastin for each tier an inch smaller than the tier above it that I'll be attaching it too.

3. Approx. how much fabric does it use for a women's Med. or Large size? I'm pretty sure it was less than 2 yards of 60" wide knit.

HTH.

Thank you, Kori. It really helps. I found clear elastic at JA's last night. Sorry to have you repeat for #2. I must have missed it the first go around. Sometimes concentrating is tough w/3 boys clawing at me.
