What type of fabric did you use for each part?

makeshiftwings30 In reply to Kitty1234207 [2011-04-03 19:46:47 +0000 UTC]

for the part that goes over the hand, it's a suiting fabric. for the rest of it i used kona cotton, which is that quilting fabric.

im sorry im on to start with her bracelets too but why did you put those "white fabric" in ? Is it needed?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

makeshiftwings30 In reply to Luffyxakaichou [2011-03-28 20:50:09 +0000 UTC]

the white fabric is interfacing and makes the main fabric more stiff. yes, you should use it because otherwise the bracelets won't be as sturdy and will probably look cheap.

Luffyxakaichou In reply to makeshiftwings30 [2011-03-29 11:38:32 +0000 UTC]

Ohh OKay thank you !! can you tell me what is this called? Do you also put it into Pants and shirts ?? Sorry im a beginner.

makeshiftwings30 In reply to Luffyxakaichou [2011-03-29 14:17:26 +0000 UTC]

it's called fusible interfacing. i used fusible thermolam in the tutorial which is much thicker. you don't always use it. medium weight interfacing is the most commonly used one. you don't usually put it in shirts, and you put it into the waistband and fly of pants usually.
