3/8" Cotton Flat Draw Cord Drawstrings Handles Lace Trim String (10 Yards, Black)

Perfect! Thank you to the seller.

Purchased the black to add a drawstring in sweatpants. It went through the sweats easily, was easily able to sew the ends to prevent fraying and ties and unties easily.

What I needed for my swim suit.

Better quality than I thought I'd receive.

I often buy sweatshirts at thrift stores to resell, I don't know why people would take out the drawstring, but I've had to replace 4 or 5. I got tired of running to JoAnn's fabrics and wait for a sale coupon, AND take the chance that they would have what I needed.I bought this product and it works great. I use my That Purple Thang sewing tool to get the drawstring though the hoodie without problem. I just sew the ends folded over so that they don't run, it looks brand new, and I can usually resell my sweatshirts for $10 more just having the drawstring.I'm planning on buying grey and natural colors now that I know this product was what I needed.

It's okay, and adequate for my purposes (ties for homemade masks) but it has a very loose weave that frays easily at the ends and is hard to sew down securely. I would prefer a cord that was more tightly woven, like flat shoelaces. That's what I was expecting, but this is much more loosely woven than shoelaces. On the bright side, the cords are hollow, so you can stick wire or pipecleaners or whatever down in there to create shapeable nosebands to sew on your masks and improve the fit.

My husband likes to wear pants and shorts with draw strings vs belts. He wears the string out well before the garment. They are easy to replace with this and I think this material lasts longer than the original.

I've purchased these twice & will do so again as needed for future projects. I use in waistband of pants, very comfortable. Easy to measure and sew. Exactly as described.
