Clothing fabric help please
Hi Guys,
OK -- I have hit all of the Joann's in the area and can't find the fabric I need. I bought some stuff about 2 months ago that was in with all that crappy sale fabric they seem to have tons of. this is gonna be my "almost" costume Mardi Gras gown for next years Bacchus Ball. I have a design in mind and can make the gown but it will have to be my "plan B" design. The fabric is black lycra type stuff which is covered with rows of little lycra ruffles alternating with rows of what looks like black Estaz fiber -- I kid you not! For those who don't know Estaz fibers, it is one of the "hairy" ones -- short little pieces of sparkly plastic-y type stuff that is all smooshed together somehow and is used to stitch stuff like ballerina skirts on cutsey XS designs. I bought everything that was on the bolt whidh was only about 1 1/2 yds. To do what I want with it, I really need 2 yards -- one yard for the front of the skirt and one yard for the back. This means I need another full yard of this stuff and I can't find it anywhere. I can find the fabric in navy blue, lime green, baby blue or the most god-awful yellow ever imagined in an LSD induced trip! No more black is to be found -- at least not around here. So -- if any of you are gonna be out and about at your local Joanns, would you check the sale fabric section? You'll KNOW this stuff when you see it because all of those rows of teensy ruffles and the hairy Estaz like fibers that are REALLY shimmery -- LOLOL! From the back side, all you see are the rows of stitching that holds the ruffles and the hairy stuff to the lycra ground. If you find it, buy me a yard (2 if they have it) and I will send you money, stash, chocolate, my first born -- just about anything!!! You all know MOI and know I am good for it so you don't need to come home and e-mail me that you have found it and ask should you buy it. I don't care if five of you buy it and e-mail me!!! I'll take it all and reimburse all of you for it -- that's how bad I want it. Besides, if I got THAT much of it, I could make the hooded cape that I really want to have too :-)))))! CiaoMeow ^;;^ .. PAX, Tia Mary ^;;^ Angels can't show their wings on earth but nothing was ever said about their WHISKERS!! Nothing is complete without a few cat hairs! |

With this description, sounds hard to miss. I'll try the hancock's and
G-Street Fabrics (there's a huge one near me). You just never know.

Is there any way you can post a picture of this fabric? It was a great description, but I'm terrible at interpreting descriptions. We have a Hancock's, Joann's and another craft store (which just bacame a Ben Franklin's) that has a lot of fabric. And I can't imagine that Mardi Gras fabric would sell very well in North Dakota!

Did anyone catch the name of the fabric and/or manufacturer? It might
be available online.

LOLOL -- well, it's not Mardi Gras fabric, just the fabric I want to make my dress out of for the Bacchus Ball next Feb in New Orleans. I can scan the fabric and then e-mail you a pic of it. That'll work! I'll be watching me mailbox in anticipation of this TiaMary fabric. -- Joan See my first-ever design he http://www.heritageshoppe.com/joan.jpg "Stitch when you are young and poor, frame when you are old and rich." - Elizabeth's (rctn'r) sister's MIL (Barbara Marr) |
