Fitted Sheets - How to Easily Replace Elastic

[darkoshi]

Shows how to easily replace old worn-out elastic on a fitted sheet. Only applicable for sheets where the elastic is loose in a channel (casing), not where the elastic itself is sewn along the edge of the sheet.
Basically, cut free one end of the old elastic, sew that end to one end of the new elastic, then cut free the other end of the old elastic and pull it out. The new elastic gets pulled in at the same time. Then sew off both ends of the new elastic, and repeat on the other end of the sheet.

I can't ever remember the elastic wearing out before the sheet needed to be replaced.

Well, lucky you, or unlucky me! I've had it happen on 2 sheets lately, and on another the elastic had simply come loose where it was sewn together.
