I order 2000 yrds of both black and white elastic thread. I can't wait as I'm making aprons. Scarves and skirts from tshirts. I got the tshirts for $1.97 from xs childs to xxxl adult, same price MANY colors.

I didn't have elastic thread so I use the ruffle method. The only problem was that the bottom thread kept breaking. To solve the problem, I basted short sections, back stitched at the end of the section, and ruffled that and that worked awesome.
