Best place to get 4way stretch bamboo fabric
Sk8nLn Beginner WI USA Member since 9/10/09 Posts: 4	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/18/12 5:07 AM My next venture is to sew my dd a pair of skating pants and myself some yoga pants. I would like to make these from a bamboo fabric. Any suggestions on good online suppliers for this type of fabric would be appreciated.

Or, Google bamboo stretch fabrics, lots of hits. ------ Happy Seams to you....until we meet again! Janome Horizon 7700, Pfaff 6122 Tipmatic, Brother PQ1500S, Singer 15-91, Pfaff serger

I will caution you, though, that the bamboo fabric I've worked with is not bottom-weight. Bamboo fabric is actually rayon. While it's good for t-shirts, I've not seen any that has the opacity, thickness, stretch, and recovery I'd want for yoga pants. But I don't have a ton of experience with it so there might be some that is made thicker and with more lycra content than what I have. ------ http://theslapdashsewist.blogspot.com ================= 2007: purchased 115+, sewed 105+ So close to parity, yet so far Trying again in 2008 Yards purchased: 133 Yards sewn: Somewhere around 95 2009? I give up

I am thinking about doubleing it to make a t-shirt but I don't know how that will work with the ends rolling like they do.
