hi, i am going ok with sewing the rest of pocket nappies, but particularly having trouble with the inner layer and to a lesser extent the back layer of the pocket nappies, regarding the elastic.

i cut out the pockets with a small rectangle above where the pocket entry will go, to provide myself with enough fabric to do a casing.

the pocket i made the other day, the inner back elastic was so much looser than the outer layer back elastic for the pocket.

we put a snap in the middle to secure the inner and outer together, then the inner pocket gaped like the number three.

I'm managing the leg elastic, but i don't think i pull it hard enough (i have RSI and doing the elastic i find really difficult).

any ideas to improve the elastic would be welcomed!


i'm using 12mm braided swimwear elastic for the tummy
6mm braided swimwear elastic for the legs and back.

i use the longest zigzag stitch i can find, can't find the 3 zigzag that i read is so useful in sewing elastic for MCN.

thanks!
