Wanted: powermesh 20cmx20cm
« on: July 01, 2018, 11:12:21 AM »
Hi!
I’m after a piece of powermesh about 20cm square preferably in black. I’m happy to pay for it and postage. I’m looking to make a couple of small items, and I feel bad asking for a sample from a shop as I probably won’t need more than that.

Thank you!

What are you making?  There are lots of different weights/strengths of powermesh.

The Sewing Chest sell small pieces of lingerie/bra making fabric.

Currently they have:
http://sewingchest.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1170 which is very lightweight.

http://sewingchest.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1720 which is medium weight

http://sewingchest.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1667 which is strong/heavyweight.

Thank you Fran and Brenda.

I’m looking to make a small padlock key wrist pocket for at the gym, so it needs to be reasonably tough but have some stretch/give in it and not be too intrusive in profile/colour :)

In that case I suggest that you need a strong powermesh - or maybe even a short length of wide elastic.
