Hand wind the shirring elastic onto your bobbin. Use same color standard thread for the top. If you are going to need a hem, hem it first because it's harder after shirring. Simply sew the lines from one end of the line to the other, about 1/2 inch apart. The shirring elastic will automatically gather the fabric for you. Be sure to tie the ends to keep them from pulling out, or anchor them with extra stitching.

A lay plan is when you position pattern peices onto fabric and then cut them out. You can have a piece of paper with pattern peices on then cut them out onto fabric and sew them together
do you mean Hama Beads? It would depend on if you were attempting to sew them as single beads or as fused multibead creations. The short answer is-- anything that has a hole in it can be sewn to fabric. as long as it's weight can be supported by the material you are using to 'sew' it with and the fabric you are sewing it to... you could sew up through fabric string the bead on your sewing material (thread or what have you), and then sew down through the fabric. You may need to make several stitches through heavier beads to secure them. You can also sew up through the hole in whatever item you are using and sew through a smaller bead and then back down through the larger hole (similarly to sewing on a sequin). If you are attempting to sew fused items, sew through multiple holes in the item to secure it flat to the fabric. It is often easiest to sew beads to fabric if it is under tension-- using either a hoop or a scroll frame is really handy, or you can staple it to a frame (which will support a lot more weight if you are doing a very heavy beading project).

Shirring a dress is as easy as sewing a simple straight stitch. Purchase elastic thread from your local fabric store. Load a bobbin with the elastic thread and sew several horizontal lines around the neck line for as far down as you wish the shirring to go. Make sure the elastic is on the wrong side of the fabric.
There are all kinds of threads used to sew elastic bands into pants. One can use many different threads to sew elastic into pants like wool, cotton, or simple fabric.
A contributor named Amanda Mangan contributed this suggestion on Simplicity.com: "I have a great method for making the casing for an elastic band without having to feed the elastic through the casing. On the wrong side of the fabric, stretch out the elastic around the place you want the casing, until the elastic ends meet. Make sure you leave the fabric allotment on top for the casing. Tightly pin down the elastic. Sew the elastic onto the fabric straight through the middle of the elastic. Just finish by folding the casing over the elastic and sewing in place."
You use 1" more than the waist you're sewing for. This allows for a 1" overlap to sew the elastic together securely. Answer two: Per this entry from Threads Magazine online: The length of elastic should be shorter than the waist seam (after seams and darts are sewn). How much shorter depends on the combination of fabric, lining and elastic. On lightweight fabric with lightweight lining, use clear elastic, and pull the elastic gently as you sew it in place. If the fashion fabric is corduroy or cotton twill with a medium lining, use braided elastic, and stretch the elastic more as you sew it in place because heavy or firm fabrics put more pressure on the elastic. http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/3740/how-to-shop-for-elastic
