Abstract: A sewing device for sewing an elastic band to cloth. The sewing device includes a pair of spaced fingers slidably connected one with the other, a spring-loaded pin fixed to one finger's slide bar that cooperates with one of a series of holes in the finger's slide bar to hold the fingers in desired spaced relation, and a removable spring clip that cooperates with each of the fingers to hold an elastic band in connected relation with those fingers when desired. In use, and with the fingers spaced a minimum distance one from the other, the elastic band is laid over the fingers and connected thereto by the spring clips. The spring-loaded pin on one slide bar is then depressed to move it out of a hole in the other slide bar, the slide bars thereafter being moved relative one to the other until the fingers are spaced that distance which provides the desired stretch in the elastic band.
