Laminette couture: the essential ally for clean and durable finishes | MyHaberdashery

The laminette is an essential haberdashery accessory for all seamstresses, whether beginners or experienced. Thin, flexible and resistant, this flat elastic band is specially designed to stabilize, reinforce and hold seams without weighing down the fabric. On mymercerie.com, the laminette category brings together a selection of professional quality sewing laminates, ideal for making clothing, accessories and durable creative works.

What is laminette in sewing?

The laminette is a thin elastic band, generally made of rubber or polyurethane, covered or not with textile, used to maintain the elasticity of a fabric while preventing it from stretching over time. Unlike classic elastic, sewing laminette is discreet, light and perfect for stretchy fabrics such as jersey, lycra, knit or even stretch fleece.

Very popular in the world of sewing, laminette allows you to reinforce strategic areas such as shoulders, necklines, waist seams or cuffs. It is particularly recommended for fitted clothes, knitted dresses, t-shirts, leggings and even handmade underwear.

A quality laminate for lasting creations

At MyMercerie, each laminette by the meter is carefully selected to guarantee excellent durability over time. Resistant to wear, repeated washing and deformation, the elastic sewing laminate ensures professional and durable finishes.

Available in several widths (5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, etc.), the laminate adapts to all your sewing projects. A thin laminate will be ideal for light clothing and delicate fabrics, while a wider laminate will be ideal for pieces requiring extra support, such as sportswear or children's clothing.

Its neutral color, particularly white laminate, is particularly appreciated for its discretion inside the works and its ease of association with all types of fabrics.

Sewing ideas with the

The sewing laminate is a real asset for improving the quality of your textile creations. It can be used for:

• Reinforce a neckline to prevent it from sagging

• Maintain the waist of a stretchy skirt or dress

Sewing tip: for an invisible finish, it is recommended to sew the laminette directly in the seam allowance using a stretch stitch or an overlocker. This allows all the elasticity of the fabric to be retained while ensuring optimal support.
