ELASTIC
Elastic waistlines and cuffs are easy to make and stretch as the child grows. Measure the waist or wrists, and cut elastic approximately two-thirds this measurement. Insert the elastic with a safety pin, easing it through the waist or cuff hem. Instead of elastic, you could also use cords or ribbon ties, and tie them in a decorative bow.
