Sewing a silk burrito style scrunchie in 10 simple steps.
What is the name of the last two shown? Don't recall hearing it
2 yards of plum became 2 pillows and the scraps will become scrunchies. I'm a long time silk pillowcase user. First set came from Etsy (reputable Canadian shop). This new silk feels more robust than I remember my old ones when they were new, sold as 22 mme. Very pleased. My face and hair love it.
Price please
You two make a great team! So helpful. Thank you!

This was a ready to wear piece by a Comox Valley designer.

Do you have thermal pro?
Yes, we have several styles of Thermal Pro and you can find them on our website under Thermal Pro Fleeces
How much is it?
Thanks for this video. It was exactly the information I was looking for detailing the difference between DWR and laminate for my new jacket range. Thanks so much
I just got the Skims soft lounge leggings which are 91% Modal and have a sort of ribbed texture. Initially I was annoyed at how thin they were but I put them on and fell in love. I wont be able to wear them in winter though, I’d freeze. My sensitive skin loves how soft they are though.

I saw the Japanese doing this technique.
Awesome video 🎉🎉🎉 !!!!!!
Hi Leslie, in the uk we call this Corovin which they use it in cushion making
Send me 5k dollar
Can you cut it to go through a printer? Is it thick enough?
Is there chlorine resistant fabric that is see through like organza?
So shell fabric is the inside layer material of a garment (the one which touches the skin) and lining is the outside layer material of a garment?
No, generally a shell has a water repellent outer layer, and a lining is bonded to that layer, and faces the skin.

Make me a FR shirt XL Light weight for the Texas summer 105 * 2 blue, 2 gray Please
Can this be cut and tied for a blanket = no sew?
I luv this. So informative
Beautiful scissors!
Thanks again for featuring the new pattern and educating us on all the performance fabrics that are sun protective and wicking! I find my sample made with Polartec Delta to be extremely comfortable in both mid-day sun as well as a touch of warmth as the sun sets. I had no idea UPF30 was so protective!
Someone please help me source this fabric I need it for my brand
Where can I get this fabric
Leslie are you going to show us your new machine hehe
Once I get it working!
@@discoverytrekkingoutfitter3140 ahhhhh cool i cant wait hehe
Thank you! I understand now.
Update! The new Caress fabric is the same content as Nulu. We think it’s the closest. Even more so than Angelskin
ACG Sierra light jacket used it as a lining back then and recently when they RETRO’D it
Can it be used for casual tee?
Beautiful stitching!
Sweet cheeks you answered the question I was wondering about 100%. Thanks.
Thanks for the great tip!
Great idea!What are you wearing? Pattern and fabric please. Thanks
This is great information, thanks for this video 🙌
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello! Thank you for the video! I am wanting to make a cowl neck pullover sweater using a fabric like this. Although, the grids are meant to be on the inside of the garment, closest to the body, I really like the look of the grids on the outside. If I was do sew a garment like this, should I line the inside of the sweater? If so, what lining would you recommend? I am considering doing a double layer of the grid Polartec allowing to have the grid on the inside for technical benefits and outside for aesthetics. What would you recommend? Thanks!
Does this fabric have any spandex in it or is 100% modal?
I’d like to know more about cordura. Could you perhaps speak on the water tightness and ease of stitching
Speaking of hats, looking for a good hat for sun protection, but need it to handle head sweating. My hair gets soaked. For context, I live in Florida, so hot and humid most of the year.
Great question and a tough one, too! Are you in our Facebook Group, Sew Inspired by Discovery Fabrics? I think this is an excellent question to throw out to our collective mind as it may generate answers from other customers that live in similar conditions and have made hats with some of our fabrics. Off the top of my head, I'm wondering if you could make a hat with our Stretch Woven fabric style called Sun Pro. It's on our Stretch Woven page and is a very lightweight stretch woven with a UPF rating of 50+. I think it could make a bucket style or baseball style cap.
Can I use a regular beginner sewing machine and needle to hem a shirt made of a moisture wicking mesh layered fabric?
