Julia Bobbin said... Ladies thank you for your very generous comments! @Sewnotwork - if you google 'elastic button looping' you'll find it everywhere. It's usually in the trim section of stores, usually near where the stock their bra trims. Here's a store online that I saw that sells it http://www.bennosbuttons.com/LP-001-Braided-Elastic-Button-Looping-p/lp-001-elastic%20button%20looping.htm 5/6/12 1:17 AM
