I got the black sensuade...and I'd be delighted, except for one little detail.
The folks at fabricdotcom neglected to mention that this fabric has some fused-on rather sticky (as in grabby...like rubber...not like honey) interfacing applied to the wrong side.
I'm not entirely sure it will work for trim applications now; the interfacing may show on a cut edge. Rats! I may just have to use it for purses/bags; I think it will be just fine for that.
The doubleknit is very nice; feels a little syntheticy to my hand, but, well, it *is* about 3/4 polyester, so I shouldn't be surprised. It will make very nice exercise/chill out pants. Actually, it'd probably make a killer little black dress, too, but I don't really *need* a killer little blac dress. I *do* need exercise/chill out pants.
And I love that plaid.
It'll definitely make a shirt that will be the one to wear when I need to be bright. ;)
That plaid is so pretty!!Too bad about the suede.
ReplyDeleteI think you should contact fabric.com and let them know about your disappointment. You shouldn't feel like you have to be stuck with 7 yards of a fabric that is very different from what you were expecting, and fabric.com is very good about turning wrongs into rights.
ReplyDeleteI did send them an email, just to alert them to the issue so they can check the remaining colors of the sensuade (the black is sold out). It's only 2 yards; I can probably use it for tote bags or some such thing. It might work for binding...just not gonna work for tassels.
ReplyDeleteI didn't ask for any kind of restitution; they didn't offer.
Maybe I could use a faux suede vest... ;)
