Anyone sewn with mesh fabric?... previously I’ve just added bits to tops and Tshirts but I found this patterned mesh at Abakhan and made Simplicity 8271 again... turned out OK. Got Vogue 8975 cardi cut out from it too.

That is lovely Eph!

I've just bought some border print stretch mesh (Lime Green and Cerise), it was reduced to £1 a metre so it would have been rude to leave it behind.....

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

That's lovely @Efemera!  I've never sewn with mesh, does it get dragged into the feed dogs or creep a lot?

No it sewed fine...a lot easier than I thought it would, did most of it on the overlocker.

Lovely garment! I've not sewn with it but hope to eventually.
