Mystery in my mystery bundle Fabric Mart bundle
TanyaMT   Intermediate CA USA Member since 4/28/04 Posts: 539	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/6/12 5:09 PM I ordered denim and got a free bundle. Two of them I can readily identify and know what to do with. I got some cotton quilting fabric and black either what is lining or lighter blouse fabric (not as silky as the lining I usually buy). Then I got purple something, slight stretch, medium weight, poly something or other. Heavy blouse, light pants or a dress? Then I got the fabric that is the reason for my post. Do people make their own panty hose or something? What is it and what is it used for? Costumes? Dance? I don't get it. ------ My sewing blog: weebeaks.blogspot.com

That is quite the mix in the mystery bundle!

I could use my black lining that came with it. ------ My sewing blog: weebeaks.blogspot.com

I found some at Walmart recently, on the $1 yd. table, and when I went to go get some more it was gone.Oh well, I got 3 yds. so that'll last for a bit. Debbie

I have used illusion fabric for skating dresses, but never thought about using it to line thin knits. That's a good idea - because it seems like so many of my knits are almost see through.
