## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to make trousers from this - is the material at all see-through?**
A: Not really heavy enough for trousers. More blouse weight. And your knickers would probably show 🤭

**Q: Would this be suitable for neck gaitors/snoods?**
A: Basically No..... This is cotton fabric as used for bed sheets Ideal for face masks; fitted or pleated, but for snoods etc you would need a jersey type fabric that stretches .

**Q: Would this fabric be ok for curtains making?**
A: It is not the thickest of fabric so unless you are going to line the curtains they would be very light and not really black out the light.

**Q: Would this be suitable to do dressmaking?**
A: Yes, it’s very suitable in my opinion, for dressmaking. Hot wash fabric before cutting; it does shrink a bit; & colour bleeds a little. I made a blouse with gathered shoulder peplum sleeves, black calico fabric, better quality than I expected, gathers beautifully. Didn’t have the strange weave patterns that some plain calico has - it’s smooth & flat .  Does fade a little, but excellent value for money. I wouldn’t mix it with a light coloured  fabric within the same garment, because of dye seepage.
