How do you put shearing elastic into the top of a dress using a sewing machine?
Shirring a dress is as easy as sewing a simple straight stitch. Purchase elastic thread from your local fabric store. Load a bobbin with the elastic thread and sew several horizontal lines around the neck line for as far down as you wish the shirring to go. Make sure the elastic is on the wrong side of the fabric.

How do you choose the correct elastic to use for a sewing project?
If you are using a commercial pattern, you can find the elastic requirements on the back of the envelope. For children's clothing such as pjs, I like to use the "soft stretch" elastic. I also use the non-roll elastic quite a bit. Don't be embarassed to ask for assistance when you purchase your elastic. Sewers are the nicest people!
When sewing a waistband how do you determine how much elastic to use?
You use 1" more than the waist you're sewing for. This allows for a 1" overlap to sew the elastic together securely. Answer two: Per this entry from Threads Magazine online: The length of elastic should be shorter than the waist seam (after seams and darts are sewn). How much shorter depends on the combination of fabric, lining and elastic. On lightweight fabric with lightweight lining, use clear elastic, and pull the elastic gently as you sew it in place. If the fashion fabric is corduroy or cotton twill with a medium lining, use braided elastic, and stretch the elastic more as you sew it in place because heavy or firm fabrics put more pressure on the elastic. http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/3740/how-to-shop-for-elastic

One place we purchase the underwear is Hanna Andersson, although it is pricey. We are considering sewing our own.
