Thread: anyone need plum stretch satin?

I just bought 20 Yard Bright Plum Stretch Satin Fabric and definitely don't need it all. I paid $2.50 a yard...so if anyone wants some send me an email/PM
no hurry to sell, just afraid its gonna sit around and collect dust for awhile. haha

Hi jen, I may be interested in some. Is it like a dark purple/red color? I've never seen stretch satin, stretch velveteen yes, but satin? That might be very cool. I recently bought a bedlah set in that "almost black with bits of color in it" (opal? irridiscent?) and am trying to figure out a skirt to go with it. Do you have a picture of the color? And is it 2 way or 4 way stretch? thanks.

attached is a picture!
I will have to check if it is 2/4way stretch at home and get back to you tomorrow!

Oh, I remember that one on ebay. I had it on my watchlist for a few months since the price was so reasonable. I had a big ambition to make a plum costume, but now I decided to clear out my apartment before traveling. Hmm, if you happen to have it in 3 months, I might ask you about it!
Would love to see how a costume turns out with that!

haha, I'm sure I'll have it in 3 months, so let me know. I don't plan on doing anything with it right now, unless I get a lot of other things done first!

hey Jaziri-
I forgot to mention that I checked last night and it is only 2 way stretch and it isn't really stretchy. It has give to it, but not like spandex or stretch velvet. Depends on what you wanted to make with it, but I almost think it would make a good circle skirt...it is light weight and flowy more than it is stretchy!

Thank you for getting back to me about it. I think I'll pass for now, but will keep it in mind. Thank you again.

no problem...
I'm actually considering keeping it all. I LOVE the color...and just got engaged this weekend...and I think it would make awesome bridesmaid dresses!
