I want to make a skirt for a cosplay, but have no idea where to get a check or plaid fabric that looks similar to the pattern on the character I'm trying to cosplay as. Does anyone know where to get fabric that looks similar to what's used on Rotten Girl Miku(confessions of a rotten girl by sawtone)'s skirt? That is, I'm looking for a dark blue/grey fabric with a lighter pattern on top.

I’m working on a project that requires printing on a high-stretch synthetic fabric (80% nylon, 20% spandex). The ink/binder needs to be flexible, durable, and able to withstand frequent stretching without cracking or peeling. It also needs to work well with pigment-based additives.

Would a water-based stretchable binder be the best option, or should I look into silicone-based alternatives? If anyone has experience with screen printing or other application methods on performance fabrics, I’d love to hear your recommendations! Please let me know the name of the binder you recommend aswell!

Hey there :), i'm searching for a dark brown cordury for a jacket. It is very difficult to find a nice fabric. I'd like to have one with about 30 to 40 wales per ten centimeters. I would prefer an german online shop. It would be really nice to get some help, because so far it seems to be really difficult to find a suitable garment

So I bought this amazing blue cotton fabric off Etsy to make a headboard with. My husband and I got it assembled tonight after a few hours of stapling, and we noticed that our hands were tinged a bit blue... so it looks like we just made a headboard with fabric that will bleed onto our white bedding. Is there any way to fix the dye without removing the fabric and then washing it? Maybe scotch guard? TIA for any pointers!

Hey so i painted my pants with acrylic paint recently but its really stiff is there any way to make the fabrjc any softer? I used only acrylix paint not mixed with anything

Has anyone ever ordered anti-pill fleece online for a tie blanket? When you place two of the same fabric in your cart (say to get 2 metres) does it come as one piece (as 2m), or as two separate pieces (1m each)?

I typically buy in store but sometimes they don’t have what I want.

Is it just that a tighter weave (for a layer against your skin) is more difficult and therefore much more expensive?

Do the sweaters have the same anti-odor properties?

Has anyone seen a dupe or similar fabric to this Missoni fabric? https://www.kravet.com/36183-359

Recently purchased a cotton gauze blanket from Quince. The color and texture LOOK lovely, but feels quite scratchy. I’ve only washed it once so far. I am hoping that it will soften the more I wash it and becomes less scratchy. Is this true?

unsure if this is the right place to ask but i recently bought a black backpack and while using them, i realize that there were little black specs/dots coming out of the fabric(?)

i have tried washing the bag and spraying waterproof protectant over it but to no avail, was wondering if anyone has any experience to counter this or is this bag gone for good 😢

Anyone know a reliable and cheap raw denim manufacturer with low moq's? Been looking on Alibaba but can't seem to find anything that isn't half polyester or stretch. If anyone has a link that would be great. Based in nz.

I was given this cloth: https://imgur.com/a/Ezat7ZG

I’m curious to know if anyone knows anything more about it? What was it used for? What are its use etc?

My roommate’s duvet cover ripped and I’m trying to make a new one from the same pattern. I’m having trouble finding this fabric. I believe it’s cotton, and the colors are faded. The ones I’ve seen are either flannel or too Christmas colored.

Hi everyone! Thank you so much in advance for your help!

I recently bought my wedding dress, and was hopping to add a pair of silk chiffon sleeves similar to these: https://www.lesposedigio.com/en/press-review/item/429-24-14. I however, have struck out in terms of finding the correct fabric. I've been to all my local shops, and ordered every sample that Mood had to offer online, but nothing seems to compare to the quality of the chiffon I tried on at the bridal shops.

I have a decent amount of money saved for this, so if budget is not an issue, where would you buy the best quality silk chiffon available? I'm also open to other fabric suggestions, what I like the most is the flowy and translucent quality of the chiffon.

I have a 100% rayon floral printed sundress that I expected to have a sort of pale yellow color, but the dress in person has more of a dark yellow color on the flower print with higher contrast. I was thinking about ways to fade the dress without damaging the fabric to achieve that pale, more muted color throughout.

1. Is bleaching a good idea? Will it damage the fabric? I have never used bleach before so suggestions on what procedure to follow would be really helpful for me!

2. Could sun exposure work? Has anyone had success with it? I also have a UV lamp I could try in my room since I don’t have a space to leave the dress out for very long.

3. How do I wash the dress after a process such as bleaching to make sure it doesn’t shrink or the fabric get ruined? It’s a nice crepe material and while I’m sure it will be a bit damaged, I’m hoping not too much.

The tag says to cold handwash separately, no bleach, no dry cleaning, no tumble dry, and to dry flat in shade, but obviously I am trying to fade the color. I will take any suggestions to maximize chances of success without ruining the dress. I’ve attached photos here: https://imgur.com/a/3gFL1Cn (1 is the color I want to achieve, 2 is the current color, 3 has the tag).

Thank you so much!

I'm trying to find the fabric or a similar fabric used for this dress in Nosferatu 2024

I've already found close matches but I'm desperate to get even closer ones

I have a wool coat from Aritzia and I noticed that there are spots that look like it has been shaved (woven fabric is visible). When I got the coat about 4 years ago, it looked fine and I didn’t see those spots. I also don’t wear the coat a whole lot (meaning everyday). I’m guessing that it could be from the friction of hanging my coat up in the closet, or that it was always there, but was smaller at the time. Is it normal for this to happen to wool coats over time?

I’m normally resourceful with these things, but I’m stumped on this one. I need to make six mermaid tail skirts out of sequin fabric, but I can’t find the one I need in more than one color. Im trying to find the pattern/arrangement that reversible sequins usually use, only in just the one color. The pattern sort of looks like scales, and my gold I used for the prototype is perfect. I just can’t find it in any other color that isn’t reversible and in that same arrangement. Does anyone know what I should be searching for, or if this even exists? I was sure it existed before I started this project, but I’m starting to doubt it.

For reference, I need light pink, hot pink, blue, orange, and purple.

I’ve got a jacket I want to sew Velcro patches onto so I can swap out the patches.

I was told that the low quality Velcro that comes with the patches will not last, is that true?

If so, where should I get the Velcro from? Patches are 8cm circles and 8x5cm rectangles.

I am looking for websites where you can find lycra with fun funky patterns. Everything I can find is kinda boring.

But for my poledancing I want to make my own outfits, since they are crazy expensive and never cover what I want.

Has anyone used Jacquard Fabric Sculpting medium or Golden's Gac 400 or any fabric hardener on fabric. Not seeing too many reviews I'm especially wondering how hard they get and which dry clear.

I won the t-shirt contest for my college club. They requested that the shirt color be non transparent when wet. Completely understandable. How dark must I go? It is a cotton t-shirt. Would like to have a light brown color. I know white is a no-go.

I’m a two time cancer survivor torn on which fabric to choose for my new couch. Looking at Sixpenny recycled poly weave (in rain drop) or light weight linen (in oat flour). Weighing safety of poly weave (microplastic shedding) with stain resistance of linen. I have a 5 and 7 year old. Any thoughts on which fabric would be better?

One of our Tencel blankets was accidentally washed in hot water (60 degrees celsius) and now it feels rough and stiff. Is there any way to restore it to how it used to be? I already tried washing it again with the cold cycle and vinegar but it didn’t work. Any tips or answers you might have would be greatly appreciated.

I am extremely sensitive to stimuli and this is the only shirt I can bear to keep on for extended amounts of time. It says it's 100% polyester, but it's likely the tag is inaccurate and as such I'd like confirmation.
It feels very similar to silk, but a little less fine and has better insulating properties.

I purchased some lightweight, 100% polyester, white satin to sew a dress and unfortunately did not notice a light pink stain until I had already cut out my pieces. The stain is on the front of the dress and I was hoping to remove it somehow.

I’m guessing the stain is red dye that got transferred over when the fabric was being made/ shipped (I noticed a larger stain on the fabric bolt in the store).

Is there any way to try to remove the stain (ie bleach, stain remover) without damaging the fabric, or do I have to embrace the look?

Looking to update the walls of my rv with something more modern, but want to ensure what I purchase will not absorb odors, is durable in heat, and doesn't stain.

I travel with my pup so I can't have something that traps hair either.

Thanks!!!

I just got a very dark bamboo quilt and I want to make sure the color doesn’t fade. I’ve read some stuff that says don’t use RIT on sheets/blankets but I don’t know if that counts for color stay?

If I shouldn’t use RIT, what’s another alternative?

Fabric content: 95% Premium Bamboo/Viscose, 5% Spandex Quilt contains 100% Polyester Fill

Does anyone know where I can get scraps of Adire and Aso Ebi fabric in the United States ? I need this for a project I am working on. If anyone has any that they want to get rid of and are located in the United States, please message me !!! I need this.
