Dicey of Customer of PlusNet plc (http://www.plus.net) uttered Evil stuff! OK if you don't have to sew seams on the straight grain, but nasty whatever way you look at it!

Mind you, it can look fantastic under stage lights! It is never ok under any circumstances Tiz iffn it's only £3.50 a metre and you need what feels like 100 miles of it for a school production... and only looks good at a very great distance Or under school stage lights, which are hardly world beating... and it looks so *naff* Yeah, but for some things naff is what you need! I used it for a 1931 Vogue pattern as a dress for Tallulah in Bugsy Malone, and it looked and behaved really well (and that dress had a LOT of hand finishing! I was mad... ) And the one on my web site for the Hotel California adventure was the same stuff, and by then I had the big serger, and the fabric behaved impeccably throughout both construction and the show. And it washed and tumble dried fantastically without needing ironing! Poshest frock in the show, and it took half the time to make of some of the other stuff! OK, so they would all have looked much better in silk, but when you have a budget of £10 per head and it may only get a week's wearing, £3.50 poly satin backed crepe/crepe backed satin begins to look very nice indeed. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Without the rotary cutter. This thread took an unexpected turn, dinnit? I suspect no harm was meant, civility usually rules here. Some might say, except when I'm on a tear, but even then, I try to see the ridiculous side of things. Now, what fabric do each of you sew folk hate, and why? I keep seeing this crunchy, scratchy-feeling, crinkled, semi-sheer poly, which feels so nasty that I cannot imagine any use for it. Even underlined, it would feel like steel wool brushing one's arms.

alpha bravo charlie delta echo ...
able baker charlie dog easy ... ace beer charlie don edward ... There are many variations on these alphabets - historical and current Originally a way to communicate letters without (much) error via radio. Every time I spell my email address out I just say "fenris, that's f as in frank, e, n as in nancy, r, s as in sam" saves hassle. I used to take phone orders and often older customers would spell their name and so on in that alphabet right off the bat. Confused the heck out of me the first time, but it is so useful. same kind of deal saying fife for 5 and niner for 9 liz young, font of useless info Elizabeth M.
