I have a yukata that my mother tossed in the washing machine, which resulted in discoloration, and these large lines to appear. Is there any way to repair the fabric at all to remove or reduce the lines?

The grey blanket is thicker than a bed sheet, thinner than a duvet. About the thickness of a blanket but not cottony and fluffy, its a harder/rougher material.

Anybody able to identify?

I bought some shoes that I thought were white, but it turns out the canvas material glows in the dark.

Anyone know how to break this technology? I found fabric UV protectant online and will give it a shot, but wondered if there are other ways. Thanks!

Hello,
I've decided I want to do a costume / cosplay of the Broadway version of Beetlejuice.I've found some decent materials to replicate the look but based on these reference photos, definitely need to dirty / age / wear the material.

Broadway Costume
I've bought this polyester version off Amazon
With this undershirt
And this tie

What is the best / easiest /safest way to accomplish this look (above) with the materials I have? Obviously what I bought is too "clean" so the need to dirty / age it is ideal. I've heard people say fabric paint, coffee/tea, etc? I've even been told rit dye (block, brown, grey?) shoe polish (again similar colors).

What would you recommend and the process for actually executing it? Ideally something like this would be acceptable at minimum.

Are there any good tutorial videos for executing an aging effect somewhere (with rit dye or a fabric paint) specifically?
Thanks in advance!

So, my husband accidentally bleached a load of my black work clothes. My black clothes are now brown and I thought I could just dye them back to black with Rit or something but apparently that doesn't work! At least they're bleached pretty evenly from what I could tell and there aren't spots, but still... Does anyone know of any way to get my bleached clothes back to black? Even temporarily until I can get new clothes for work? Thanks for any help!!

Anyone know of a quality UV fabric paint? I want my designs to last and actually glow under a blacklight. Thank you!

Thanks. It would be nice to lighten them up a bit so they look more faded.

I purchased a Tahari Modern Essentials Tank Top. However, it doesn't fit and it doesn't come in my size. I might try to make one myself, but I'm having trouble finding the fabric I need.

The fabric content is 94% nylon and 6% elastane. I am not typing I'm the write combo of Google terms because I can't get any fabric that matches these numbers to come up. I think it's a sports knit on the firmer side of moderate stretch. It's a very smooth fabric with some sheen, but not a lot of shine. It has some sort of performance knit.

Any ideas where I can get it online in the US? Thanks!

I got a red skirt and it’s brighter than the photo advertised when I bought it. I want to tone it down. I seen somewhere of using coffee or black tea? Can anyone give me some tips for that. I just want it a darker shade of red. 100% Viscose. Thanks!

The thrifting Gods smiled upon me this week and I scored 6 curtain panels (48"w x 108"l) from West Elm for $6.50 USD each (original price was $179 a panel. I saved $1,035)! 😲 I know. I can't believe it either. I'm in shock.

I'm really trying to keep costs down, and I'm wondering if I can either hand wash or, preferably, machine wash them rather than follow the label instructions of dry clean. They do need to be washed 1.cause they came from who-knows-where and 2. they look slightly soiled on the bottom probably due to pets or young children.

The fabric is a velvet and is 60% cotton, 40% viscose. The blackout liner is 100% polyester.

Would a delicate cycle on cold with a mild detergent like woolite be okay?

I’ve recently gotten a new shirt that is 100% Rayon Challis. It’s a bit big (it’s XL, I think L would fit me) but I heard that machine washing it warm would shrink it. I know I should normally cold wash it and line dry, but will doing one wash to shrink it a little ruin the pattern? It’s a very busy shirt so I really don’t want it warped at all. Thank you!

I have a sweater that’s 100% cotton and I was wondering if I could spray it with vodka. I know vodka works with delicate clothes but just want to make sure I won’t damage it. Thanks! :))

I washed my silk pillowcase yesterday with white vinegar and a free and gentle tide pod via hand wash with cold/lukewarm water and left it air dry but I’m looking at it today and it seems to be pilling, is it ruined or is this normal for silk pillowcases?

Hello! I have these prop glasses for a costume I own, they’re about 8 years old, and the original maker has dropped off the face of the earth.

If anyone can identify what this is for me so I could recreate the glasses myself, I’d be grateful. It’s almost like a stiff felt.

I have a long sleeve sweater. The tag is all worn but I think it says %96 polyester and %4 Elastane. Over time the arms kind of shrunk and now it looks rather silly.

How can I stretch the arms back to its original length?

I have a shirt that is 64% coton,32% polyamide,4% elasthanne.
When I wear it it gets like brown stains out of nowhere so I would like to dye it black but I´m afraid I´m going to ruin it, any tips?

A friend bought me this scarf/cloth a few years ago from Yemen (I might be wrong). It is 70cm by 70cm. (Check the imgur link). It has a bit of wear and tear from use.

I have been trying to find something identical to this in terms of the design, fabric, texture and size.

Does anyone know what type of material this is from the pictures and where they’d sell identical scarf/cloth?

Thanks in advance

I know 92/8 poly spandex is a very common blend but the hand feel is much silkier and smoother than most blends

Hi- I would like to learn more about your fave outfits fabric for sportswear.

Could you please give me some idea and insights 🙌🏽

hi! i'm trying to figure out what this fabric could be :( the dress is from alexander mcqueen spring/summer 2008

the version seen here on kate moss looks more dull, like a wool suiting fabric (correct me if i'm wrong pls) but i'm curious what the fabric used on the runway could be. any thoughts?

I was wondering what is the most strongest, durable and tear resistant fabric, for a bag and belt bag. A fabric that won't tear if something sharp or pointy hooks it and last you long long time. fabric that are meant for heavy duty work. ofc affordable aswell

I’m trying desperately to find the kind of woven stretch fabric that is like the pouches of traditional jockstraps.

It’s generally a cotton/elastane blend and gives a really unique kind of 4-way stretch. I can’t seem to find it ANYWHERE.

Anyone have ideas? You’ll be my hero!!

Hi! Looking for online, or not, End of Roll SILK, COTTON OR LINEN fabrics. For crafts. Im in Ottawa, CDA. THANX!!!

The description only says “nylon”, but which one? https://www.tumi.com/p/celina-backpack-0146566405E/

It is very smooth to the touch, doesn’t get wrinkled and has a light sheen to it.

Any direction is appreciated.

Thank you!!

Tryna buy some silk to make some scarves or clothes and stuff. Any reputable places to go to?

I can't seem to find any information on fabric/cloth, woven from 3 directions, so there would be hexagons and triangles, instead of ordinary fabric which is made from 2 directions and is full of squares.

Please what is it called?. Where can I find information?

Hi all, I'm working on a design for a sports finger guard that will have a soft covering made of some type of fabric. This finger guard will fasten with sports tape, so I'm searching for a type of fabric that won't wear away if such tape is pulled off it on a daily basis.

Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

Firstly I'm trying to find a handkerchief or make my own Probably linen? I got some stuff from my grandpa including some basic white cloth It's actually quite nice, but I might want some more cheap ones

Leading me to the second thing, I got a Stafford brand shirt from him, made in USA But I bought a couple from JCPenneys since I asked them if these would be different than a vintage one They said it's a recent brand or something But these were made in Pakistan and are a lot different

I could get you some pictures or more description The cotton is just so thick and soft and the fit is quite different

Lastly, though I could make a separate thread, is there's canvas type material or a rayon blend and some woven sort that is heavy for jacket, like cross weave with a lot of texture I tried researching different cotton weaves It stays cool in summer, yet even insulates decent for winter And doesn't make my sweat stink like polyester Probably make a second thread with a picture for that to ask about

Mostly this today, is the handkerchief Jo Ann Fabrics or what? Not sure I can get anything stitched right now. That might be cheapest way unless I can just buy bulk of some various squares. Maybe a few premium dense jersey t shirt cottons like this white Stafford shirt In cloth form And anywhere I can even get another vintage shirt or just basic nice t shirts

I could go for a few kinds, or maybe try to design some someday

For now, the handkerchief might be possible to find
