Hi all,

So I'm currently trying to source some fabric for a project I'm doing, and can't seem to find what I'm after.

I'm trying to make a cover that's going to go over some parts which are glass and don't want the 600d Oxford cloth or little bits of debris that gets caught in it to scratch the glass and damage it. To prevent this, I'd like to use an inner liner like in this old store bought version a friend of mine has (no longer produced hence the need to make myself): https://imgur.com/a/2IQRRYO

The material is like a soft felt; not unlike the material found on the inside hoods of some of my outdoor coats (think Regatta wet weather jackets) but is not as soft as those felt-like blankets.

From the picture and my above description, I'm hoping someone with a bit more experience might be able to tell me what it's called, as everything I search into Google ("felt lining" "jacket lining felt" etc.) seems to point to other materials that I'm not sure would be suitable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Ive beeen trying to find more of my favorite fabric but since i know very little about it i was hoping this subreddit could help me, any details at all would be very appreciated! https://i.imgur.com/q4e4Tua.jpeg Lighting looks a lil weird but its a light green color

I'm trying to find the best Walmart fabric departments in or near the SF Bay Area, Central Coast, and Central California. They are changing and removing some BTY and just selling pre-cut in some stores. Let's make a list of the current state and share intel. Thanks!

Not sure if anyone will be able to help, but just wanted to see!

I need to dye a blush dress to get it to the be mauve. It is a polyester/spandex blend, but I think more polyester.

I bought pink and purple dyemore, so my question is how can I mix the two (if needed) to get the desired color?

Thank you!

I want to buy a top online with these fabric details. I don’t know the brand so I don’t know what it would feel like. Is this a good sweat-proof blend? I’m not sure if there is enough info here

I’m interested in this paisley fleece jacket but don't like the logo. How would I go about removing the logo without damaging the jacket?

Link to the logo on the patch https://ibb.co/nbFnvSc

It’s 55% polyester, 24% acrylic, 21% recycled-polyester pile with 100% polyester backing

Fabric of the Day!

I’m such a sucker for texture and this might be my favorite fabric to print with. A lusciously soft, 8.5 oz, 100% polyester Velvet!

Every time I touch this Velvet I instantly want to create something with it. A new soft shirt, a new robe, shorts, pillow, blanket, boxers? Haha idk if each other are possible, but this stuff is seriously soft.

Also, it’s not thin. I’ve bought velvet blankets from print on demand companies and…yeahhhh it’s night and day. They always felt so thin and so cheap. Not this stuff. Whenever I make a mistake printing it and gather a pile with a yard or two, it truly drapes over my shoulder with weight.

Another pro is colors are so rich when printed on it. This custom chestnut color sent to us from a customer is truly majestic. Almost Texas burnt orange but more brown hues. Idk I just love it lol.

They only con I can ever see is if your design has extremely small, detailed images in it, WITH gaps that show the white fabric, it could ghost your print slightly. Just part of being such a soft fabric.

Hope the pictures do this justice! I’m hoping the link works🤞 https://imgur.com/a/ECMU5jP

And that you enjoyed this!

I bought a hoodie because I liked the design but despite it being an XL it's a couple inches shorter than i'd like. Is there a way to stretch it a bit?

I work for one of the largest fabric suppliers in the US.

My day consists of lotssss of custom fabric printing, both sublimating and pigment printing. Typically, I’ll handle close to 20 different fabrics in a day. Some days less, some more. I’m hoping to start a daily fabric blog here in this subreddit to provide useful information about each day’s fabric. Maybe it’s a type you’ve used before and love or one that you’ve been looking for!

I founded a custom print shop and apparel brand before making my way into the fabric world, but I’m 100% not a fabric expert. Looking for anything you all might like for me to add to the fabric details? Exp. Poly/Cotton %, the feel, preferred printing method, etc etc.

Tomorrow starts Day 1!

Ah, not an expert on Reddit either, but can’t seem to post pics of the fabric in this subreddit 😬 I may be missing something though! Please let me know!

I need some help identifying this fabric! https://imgur.com/a/txRhkNd . I've tried 1mm polyester felt but while the thickness felt right the texture is wrong. I've seen it mostly used bonded to softer fabrics for Japanese nui dolls to help maintain flexible shape to hair, but I can't seem to find any online. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Got knock off jerseys from China and one of the only things wrong is the color on a part of the logo. What kind of paint should I use for this that would withstand the washer? Do I use the same paint I'd use on fabric? Even though the part I'm painting isn't fabric? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Edit: I only need to paint the star red so I'd prefer it to be and stay shiny.

Hi! I’m looking to grab as much fabric as I can abroad. I’m wanting to hear of others experiences with this. Specifically • costs to transport (like if it was an extra checked bag, how much was that) • did you need extra luggage? • how much fabric did you bring • how did you pack the fabric in your luggage • what luggage did you transport it in

Hi, I am running my own fashion designing business and I started just recently. I am looking for fabric supplier where I can get in affordable price. Please let me know if you anyone have fabric supplier.

Thanks,

I have a Christmas item I sell and I am trying to get bulk fabric. I normally get Symphony Broadcloth from Joann but I’m sure there are some cheaper options for a similar product.

Just plain Black. No special prints or anything.

Anyone have an idea? Also, faux fur supplier for bonus points! Thanks!

So I have a DIY PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) I've made that needs a cloth lining. That mask is made from a full face snorkel mask that covers from forehead to under the chin. The seal is rubber and just needs to be covered with some cloth. Without cloth to cover the rubber that would touch my face it would quite sweaty and the rubber might rub me raw. Summer here in south eastern United States is hot a humid.

I just need a material that's going to handle the dust kicked up from cutting grass (so much dust!) and be able to wick away some sweat and not be very hard to clean. I was thinking of those super comfortable sports t-shirt materials made from man made materials. Leakage of air around the seal is actually helpful since inside the mask is positive pressure.

Thanks for any advice.

Been searching for months for a

ripstop 64%poly/33%cotton/3%spandex blend about 240gsm.

Twill 71% Polyester-24% Rayon-5% Spandex light to medium weight gsm

I've only found one manufacturer in Mexico for ripstop but the MOQ is 1500 meters and I only need half of that. Another manufacturer in china doesn't respond to my emails. I've reached out to several US manufactures and it seems that these are only made overseas.

I didn’t really know where to post this but I’m going to a concert to see my favorite band soon and I plan on buying a hoodie and getting it signed. I have no idea what markers/paint pens to bring for them that will give me a good permanent signature that can hold up in the washer and against UV so I can wear it to future shows of theirs.

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to find interesting materials for some shirts I want to make, but this is the first time I'm ordering my own materials and I'm super lost.

I'm interested to hear if you have any suggestions for online stores that ship to the EU that have high quality cotton with interesting/quirky prints. I'm also very new to this so I don't even know what's a reasonable price for quality cotton and how to tell if what I'm getting is worth the price. If you have any guidance I would be extremely grateful!!!

I also really like materials with large floral prints that are spaced out and more weird things like patters with kittens or fish on them.

I am specifically looking for a Cordura swatch book. I'm in the queue to hear back from their customer service currently. I am looking for 500-1000D. I would also accept a nylon swatch book. Not specifically looking for colors but more to feel and see the weave of the fabric.

Hi,

I have no experience or knowledge whatsoever on this subject, just to be clear :)

I'm looking to make what seems to be called "Ruana Wrap", rectangle with a cut half way in the middle.

I would like to use it a a sort of a cloak over my backpack in the dodgy UK weather during 3-5h hour long walks. (hood will be separate, let's ignore it)

My general plan is to find some magic material that will be soft, strong, lightweight and can be treated with some water repellent.
My Hardshell is 422g with 2-3 layers, do I need multiple layers too?

Total size of the rectangle would be around 70x160cm

I don't mind if you tell me this can't be done and I have to drop one of the requirements and then I should do XYZ. Again, no idea about fabrics at all.

Thank you for any constructive comments :)

I bought some brushed cotton fabric, and threw it in the wash like I would normally do; unfortunately, when I was done washing and drying it, it was covered in pilling.

I looked on Google, and it says I should have washed it on a gentle cycle with cold water.

Is that really it? Is that really all I had to do to prevent this?

Is there more I could have done for the future? Is it normal for it to pill up this easily after just one wash?

I'm trying to color some stuffed animals to look like someone's bunnies as a gift and I'm not satisfied with dying so I've been looking around for answers regarding paint.

Does polyester fur remain soft and fluffy after painting with acrylics + fabric medium?

I have a pair of designer french terry sweatpants that need hemmed ridiculously and i wanted to leave the edge of it raw, is this a bad idea?

Hello. I’m trying to dye my couches a deep burgundy color from a lightish gray. I don’t want to ruin the integrity of the fabric with the dye and am wanting to know if anyone has any recommendations

Hi I am running my own company I am looking for manufacturer to buy best fabrics for my business. Actually, I am planning to make wedding dresses, grad dresses, and silk dresses for people in affordable price. Please let me know if anyone can find me best supplier to buy fabrics.

Thanks in advance

Looking for a vinyl that would transfer well on a shirt that is 95% nylon and 5% spandex. Any suggestions??

Hello,

I have been searching high and low for a dress or set and finally found something almost perfect - except for the colour. I was looking for something blue, lilac and green and I've found it in white

The description states that it's 100% linen - I was wondering what my success would be in dying a white top with darts and skirt with pleats a uniform light blue colour?

I would like to print a famous painting onto a fabric to then use in a craft. The artist is dead. I would assume it is still technically illegal to print the artists painting… but does anyone know how strict fabric printing companies are with copyrights and legality?

PLEASE DELETE IF NOT ALLOWED

On a mission to find this blanket circa 2012, for a friend. Her little boy has been battling cancer for over a year and it has been his comfort item through the entire battle. There is nothing but pieces left of it. If anyone could redesign this fabric so we could get it printed, it would be greatly appreciated❤️
