I found some sites on Etsy where I got some nice 1&#8243; elastic. White and black elastic seem like they belong in underwear not in bags made from Tula Pink fabric. The elastic in the photo above (left) uses the perfect colors for the Amethyst Project Bag. I couldn&#8217;t believe my luck. That is not a color combination I would normally select, but it goes perfectly with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tulapink.com\/moon-garden-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ka-Bloom fabric<\/a> from Tula Pink&#8217;s Moon Garden line.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_59030\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59030\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230415_190117_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-59030\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230415_190117_wm-sm-300x182.jpg\" alt=\"Various buckles\" width=\"300\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230415_190117_wm-sm-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230415_190117_wm-sm-768x466.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230415_190117_wm-sm.jpg 802w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-59030\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Various buckles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I looked for different colored parachute clips and ended up getting two different kinds from Amazon. One is just white plastic, which is what I used for the <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2023\/04\/amethyst-bag-more-progress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amethyst Project Bag<\/a>. The other is metal and came nicely packaged. They are however a little hard to open, so I may have to use them as decorative buckles, not buckles I need to use frequently. I would get too annoyed.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3MPnvLe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dritz Iron off<\/a>** is THE BEST. It works quickly and well for cleaning your iron.<\/p>\n<p>The other elastic came in great colors (photo right), but isn&#8217;t quite as stretchy as the elastic referenced above. Still, I am sure I&#8217;ll be able to use it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_59031\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59031\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230413_130640_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-59031\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230413_130640_wm-sm-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Sew Hungry Hippie (April 2023)\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230413_130640_wm-sm-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230413_130640_wm-sm-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230413_130640_wm-sm.jpg 802w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-59031\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sew Hungry Hippie (April 2023)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I needed to replenish my stock of vinyl.

Whenever I place an order with Sew Hungry Hippie, I also get some of the Riley Blake black and white stripes (photo above). They are great for bindings and I go through a lot of it. Especially lately, I have been using quite a bit of it for bag bindings.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to level up to get free shipping and bought some more glitter webbing. I plan to use the blue for another Essential Tote. I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;ll use the black for, but probably another Essential Tote.
