I have not shown you lovely people the gorgeous fabrics I am playing with!

Two lovely velvets one with a lattice burnout.

One fantastic green and gold brocade, that deserves a close up, I’ll get one later.

And one silk dupioni with a wonderful slub in the texture.

Off on a wild hare looking for fabric swatch shots that vaguely approach what I'm going for with 'Siel's date night gown. Might have found a nice starting point, at least:

#out of chords #dupioni silks/shot silks are very elfy because they look magic #but the magic just comes from having one color for the warp and a different one for the weft

I started this petticoat sometime in 2013 and it's been on The Pile ever since. I had thought I might cut it up to use the fabric for something else, even though I was unlikely to have a use for washed dupioni, but then I realized I could put it on Mr. Fibreglass! So I dug it out and took it to my alterations job to work on during slow days, and yesterday I finally finished it!

I had barely started sewing it up back in 2013, and the thread didn't match and the seam allowances weren't finished, so I picked apart what I'd done and serged the edges on the industrial at work. I vaguely remember getting the silk dupioni on clearance sale, and it must have been pretty darn cheap because there's about 4 metres of fabric in this thing. I forgot to measure it and count the scallops, but however many scallops there are it's a few too many and they took quite a long time to sew. I don't know why I thought that many opposing curves was a good idea, but they do look nice!

It's mostly machine sewn, aside from the waistband finishing and the ends of the ties. He could definitely use another petticoat or two under there to give it more floof and show off the scallops better, but that's not a priority at all, especially since he lives in a somewhat cluttered corner. (Clutter removed for these photos but it's back there now.)

Now that there's a bit of colour in Mr. Fibreglass's outfit, he reminds me of @breebird33's work.

I was reading this excellent analysis of Crowley's costumes by @greenthena and noticed something tears-worthy in the close-up of Aziraphale's robe from the Job minisode:

This fabric is a variety of silk called "dupioni", from Italian word "doppione", meaning "double": although today it is appreciated for its texture, for the longest time it was considered less valuable compared to other varieties of silk like taffeta because of its prominent irregular slubs.

And do you know where the slubs come from?

The dupioni silk, and that's why it's called "dupioni" or "double", is full of slubs because it is weaved using the knotted silk thread produced by two silkworms that have spinned their cocoons together, so close to each other that they could not be disentangled and had to be reeled in one thread.

LA, Who Am I To Love You? by me 💕

finally got around to binding my @hd-wireless fic from last year! Faced some technical difficulties but I’m happy with my design choices & how they reflect the vibe of the fic! Featuring art by the lovely @babooshkart and a praise page with comments from @stationintern, @tackytigerfic, @sitp-recs, and @skeptiquewrites among others (all the comments on that fic gave me life! tysm 💕)

Materials:

Dupioni silk which I made into bookcloth for the covers

Fonts: Brim Narrow, Rage Italics (California license plate font)

HTV: Siser Holographic Vinyl (would not recommend from this experience, but also my tools are suboptimal so could be a me problem!)

shelf update 💕

#my fanbinding #this one sat on my workbench for six months before i mustered the time to complete it #and i’m happy it’s done!!!#hd wireless 2023

Beatrix Aruna Pasztor’s Regency-esque costumes for 2004’s Vanity Fair, as well as 2012’s Great Expectations, are very distinguishable by the aesthetic of starkly uni-coloured but otherwise mostly unadorned columns of shiny shot or dupioni silks for outer garments. So, even when reused, the costumes are very distinct.

This burgundy red coat-and-trousers combo was first seen -separately – on Gabriel Byrne as a vampy Marquess of Steyne in the 2004 adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray’s Vanity Fair.

The coat, originally a long coat, appears to have been altered into a tailcoat for the 2012 Great Expectations. David Walliams wore this particular coat as Mr. Pumblechook. The coat went on to party hard and ended up dissolute on August Diehl in Confessions of a Child of the Century only a little later that very same year. From there, it went back again, so to speak, to Vanity Fair—this time on Jos Sedley played by David Fynn, for 2018’s television adaptation. The tailcoat eventually danced through the London Ball on entrepreneur and showman Tom Parker, played by Kris Marshall, in the sixth episode of the 2019 first season of Sanditon.

Cosplay Fabric Shopping Masterpost

Alright, here we go--a master list of as many (verified) fabric stores as I can think of, and what they specialize in! I will be focusing on fabric stores, as a notions shopping list will come at a later date. They'll be sorted by Name | Types of Fabrics | Brief description, and primarily US-based, though some overseas, so here we go:

--- "JACK OF ALL TRADES" FABRICS ---

Fabric Wholesale Direct | [Various, Budget] | Lots of all kinds of things, specialization in more inexpensive fabrics. Their rayon challis is a great lining fabric, and their poly dupioni is one of the most popular, but they have a little of everything. Processing takes a HOT SECOND, shipping is okay at best.

Fashion Fabrics Club | [Various, Mixed] | Have bought several weird things from here, including various velvets and wools. Great for non-stretch things. Pricing is average, but their sales are amazing if you catch it; shipping is a little slower.

Zelouf Fabrics | [Various, Budget] | A newer fabric store, has literally EVERY SHADE IMAGINABLE of some fabrics, such as their poly taffeta. Also, their swatches are MASSIVE, like half yards or something. If you need a specific color and know your material, try this place out.

Denver Fabrics | [Various, Mixed] | Similar to Fashion Fabrics Club, HUGE variety of stuff. The search feature is not the best but I've found some good gems here, and well categorized.

Sy Fabrics | [Various, Budget] | Similar to Fabric Wholesale Direct! The site is hideous, but very comparable in quality--great basics.

Cali Fabrics | [Various, Budget] | Ships FAST, great for lots of yardage or cheaper mockups. Smaller selection but still plenty to look at.

--- STRETCH FABRICS ---

Blue Moon Fabrics | [Stretch, Formal] | LOTS of stretch fabric, but specifically stretch sequins and very "funky" fabrics. Sales are few and far in between but if you need something glittery or with sequins that can stretch, this is the place.

Spandex House | [Stretch] | Comparable (but not to be confused with) Spandex World, located in the Bronx in NYC if you wanna go and visit! As the name says, lots of stretch fabric, some very unique; this is where I got my stretch glitter tie dye velvet for Exarch's arm. Pricing is "meh".

Spandex World | [Stretch, Basics] | Comparable with Spandex House, but located in the NYC Garment District if you wanna visit! I actually prefer Spandex World as far as /quality/--great for basic stuff like stretch scuba and power mesh or milliskin. Pricing is "meh".

MJTrends | [Stretch, Vinyl/Pleather, Latex] | THE place to go to for things like latex, vinyl, pleather, and stretchy stuff in that avenue. Great for "liquid look" or stuff like Eva plugsuits.

--- FUR FABRICS ---

Big Z Fabrics | [Fur, Various, Fun Colors] | They actually have things BESIDES fur, but I'm going to recommend their fur specifically due to the large selection, at various price points. This is where furries shop, if that gives any nudge to how legit it is.

Shannon Fabrics | [Fur, Pricey, Naturals] | Primarily used for stuff like blankets BUT does have some weirder patterns, in more neutral colors. Their long pile fur in particular is quite nice to work with.

--- SILK + FANCY FABRICS ---

Silk Baron | [Various, Pricey, Real] | You've heard of it, but here it is--the go-to spot (minus literally ordering from an Indian seller) for real silks of various types. Expect at minimum $18/yard for their dupionis and around $22/yard for their taffetas and to go upward from there. Color is unprecedented; if you need a duochromatic silk or a specific type, from organza to matka, go here.

Dharma Trading | [Raw, Budget, Real] | Primarily a dye seller, Dharma also specifically sells raw and finished silks in white, natural, and some in black. These are made to be dyed and come in various finishes, but their raw silk in particular is a great budget option for projects and takes to dye well.

Fancy Styles Fabric | [Pricey, Various] | Though this place also carries poly, specializes in real silk too. Lots of taffeta, dupioni, jacquard, the type of stuff you'd see on a baroque wallpaper. Great sales/deals on their IG, so check there before buying. Pricing is sometimes a bit overpriced, so wait for sales.

Promenade Fabrics | [Pricey, Various] | A "better customer service" version of Fancy Styles, with a storefront in New Orleans. Also has good trim selection. Fair mix of real and false silks, good luxury stuff.

Mood Fabrics | [Various, Pricey] | Mood is my go-to for when I want a luxury fabric OR if I want a strong brocade or jacquard that a "simple" pattern won't do for me. There are however some great sales every now and then, including clearance. Every swatch order also comes with a 10% off coupon! As a bonus, their button and trim selection isn't bad, so save yourself some shopping.

VincyStore | [Various, Unique] | This is their Etsy, although they do have an Ali storefront, the prices are very close. Very "weird" unique fabrics, mainly poly silks folded in weird ways or the kinda stuff you'd see on fantasy gowns. Good unique finds.

--- OTHER SPECIFIC STORES ---

Tandy Leather | [Leather, Pricey, Accessories] | It's real leather, and mostly heavier weight, but you can occasionally find good deals here. They do have physical stores and often the stores have BETTER deals. Less apparel weight in my experience.

District Leathers | [Leather, Pricey, Apparel] | Also real leather, and a good various selection, including a physical storefront. I really like their very light suede and similar stuff--good for cloaks, etc.

Fabrics Store | [Linen, Mixed] | This site has other stuff, but, JUST BUY YOUR LINEN FROM HERE. It's great quality, has EVERY color and weight, has both hourly and daily deals, often has coupons. If you need linen, go here.

Sewstine | [Historical, Mixed] | This site has a nice masterlist of historical fabric resources, so I'll share it here to explore rather than link everything individually.

Seattle Fabrics | [Outdoor, Mixed] | Primarily outdoor and "technical" fabrics, which makes this a great candidate for sci-fi, star wars, and any other more "modern" garment you're making in that realm.

~~~ More will probably be added over time, but here's our starting line! Feel free to comment and share your own! ~~~

Today (August 21st) is Fanfic Author's Appreciation Day and Renegade Bindery is having a celebration of our beloved authors by sending authors gift copies of their work in time for today.

The first book I'm including for today's celebration is one that sorta just happened to fall now. It's a book I've already shown my own copy from back in February.

a stone to break your soul a song to save it by rikke -This fic is one I named as my very favorite MDZS fic for a long time. It's such a fantastic canon deviation AU.

This binding was based on my first copy, including faux stab-binding detail. But I didn't have enough of the same blue bookcloth left. What I had was really too bright and light to feel right to me. So looking around at what I had I found some silk fabric I had dyed blue for a costume project at one point that I didn't end up using. I decided to see how this silk would work made into paperless bookcloth with paste and acrylic medium. I'm only partially happy with the finished surface, but it is durable and the right color, as well as having a fun texture from the dupioni slubs.

The book also has a sewn French Double Core endband and velvet ribbon.

And once again, thanks Rikke for all your contributions to the fandom!

Source (Season 1 - April 23rd 2022)

heathervanderstitch: To say I was mesmerized by this fabric would be an understatement! @hannahgreenecostumes found this fabric pretty early on in the build and I would stop and admire it everytime I passed it on the shelves. When it came time to make this robe, we were nervous about cutting it because the yardage was limited and we couldn't get more. I started with a traditional kimono pattern draft and added a box pleat at the back neck because costume designer Christine Wada wanted more movement around the feet, but not be too baggy on the shoulders. I also had to add shoulder seams to keep the birds facing up. @shizenbeauty cut very carefully saving fabric, but keeping the birds placed nicely. @hilaurawong snapped this picture of @shizenbeauty when she was laying it out, you can see the nerves of everyone in the roomon her face! Once it was cut there was no going back! The fabric is velvet and the lining and piping are silk dupioni so it was a bit tricky to sew. @shizenbeauty did a great job of getting that exact 1/8th piping! I swooped in at the end and stitched on those great tassels. I'm still in love with that fabric after all this time!
