Could anyone point me in the right direction of cheaper ways to buy reels of ric rac bias binding and coloured flat woven waistband elastic.Online would be good or a local wholesaler who doesn't mind people who aren't businesses.I don't mind a minimum spend as long as its not a huge amount.I looked on ebay but they did not have the ones I wanted and the ric rac seemed to suggest it was only for crafts not sewing so would be a bit concerned about how it would wash.It's to make circle skirts and dresses so it gets rather expensive with about 7 metres of ric rac and binding each dress.Local places don't have much choice in sizes of ric rac,binding and especially not coloured waistband elastic.I am aware I could make bias myself easily enough but I have very little time to sew due to childcare responsibilities.
Question! I have a friend who is making 18 inch American Girl doll clothes. She is in need of trims for the clothes. Does anyone know a good supplier who is reasonable?
Hi Bees! Has anyone ever seen this brocade tape, and if yes, do you know where to buy it? I know, it's a needle in the haystack and it's probably antique, but who knows.... the width is 7.5 cm / approx 3 inch....

If you need large quantities, cheeptrims.com may have it!

I have bought trim nearly identical to this at the above mentioned cheeptrims.com. It is listed under Jacquard Ribbon, Metallic 2-3". They do have a minimum order but it's considerably more affordable than buying by the yard. Good luck!
