Sewing question

[kengr]

I want to make a sort of sleeve to cover something. It needs to be *very* flexible (floppy, even). But it also needs to maintain its length and not fold "in" on itself.

First thought was boning. That'd maintain the length all right but wouldn't be flexible.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Cat Faye says: "I would put a layer of ultralightweight fuiseable interfacing under the sleeve fabric so it doesn't fold into itself. I'm thinking the kind you iron on to the fabric."

Fuiseable means that it adheres to fabric when heated and becomes a part of the fabric.
