1/8″ Natural Cotton Tape – 250 yard spool

Made in the USA

This is the narrowest cotton tape you’ll find! It works very well for ties in poorer women’s caps. It may be used as stay laces but 1/4″ is recommended and to tie the back of breeches, but again 1/4″ often works better. Directions for securely sewing cotton tape on to a garment are found in The Lady’s Guide to Plain Sewing Book II. In 1783 in The Proceedings of the Old Bailey, London “WILLIAM HATCHMAN was indicted for feloniously stealing . . .  24 yards of cotton tape, value 4 s.”
