How about threading a pretty ribbon through the casing so your (very
lucky to have a grandma sewing for them!!) granddaughters can just tie
off and have an attractive bow showing? Although, maybe not a good
solution for babies...someone in an earlier post suggested leaving an
extra length of elastic for Mama to finish off?
Good luck,

I've been sewing for my granddaughters for Christmas and have come across,
again, something that has long bothered me in most commercial patterns. The
sleeves have elastic in them and the directions say, "Cut elastic to a
comfortable measurement." Now, the girls are in Florida, and I am in Maryland, so
how am I supposed to do that? The same holds when making baby clothes for
babies who aren't born yet, for example. (Snipping....)
Does this peeve anyone else as it does me?
