I'm looking for a light material to make summer scarves, would this be a good material?

I think it would work well. I used the material to make saddles for my granddaughter. Nicer once it is washed a couple of times and gotten softer.

Oh yes the material is very easy to work with. Regular scissors will do the job.

It would be ok.. but it's very light and the wind may blow it away... I think I would use something made of stone.. or an equivalent to stone.

I have not had a problem using my machine for that type of fabric. I did small projects though. I would say so long as you are using the right thread, needle and tension you should be ok.

If you could re-sew the seem you created I'm sure you could but it's definitely not designed for that. The fabric is thick but it's a fairly large weave and would fray if cut (and not re-sewn).

I wouldn't think so, the material is rather thin, wider, larger open fibers. I used this materials as a another option for cutains, and I feel it the material was too thin by itself. Looks great with shears though.

This material is lightweight and breathable. It is suited more for one season of use. Seems like a cross between cloth & paper Tears or cuts easily. I use it because air can circulate & light can penetrate through it. It helps keep sparrows out & gives potection from cold here in mild zone 9b.winters. Reminds me of the fabric used in fabric softener sheets.A good product for my purpose because it doesn't weigh the plants down.

I would suggest using fine steel wool and the clear coat very light coats....

Depending on where you live, yes it is suitable for summer. If your evenings / nights get cooler, then it will be fine. I ordered this to be a spread like shown in the photo. However, it comes nowhere close to reaching the floor. It is strictly to be used as a blanket. I loved the look and weight of it, but unfortunately I had to send it back as it was much too small for my bed.

It is very light weight. I would think it would be better to use this particular material for a mummy costume. It's very transparent and see-through almost like gauze bandage, but in a bigger roll.

Absolutely! This stuff is made for that. Is very small weave, open airy, and lightweight. Perfect for draping. I think comes in 10 yard bolts, or 30 feet. I think 54 inches wide. check the description. Is fairly sheer, so lighter colors tend to be almost invisible. Might want to use something more of a Silver rather than a white. the White will disappear at any distance. Bright colors don't have issues with disappearing. CHEAP as dirt! Fabric stores charge MUCH MORE for exactly the same. Buy extra, fun to use at Halloween for ghost effects in yard. Scott

My impulse is to say no. I bought the fabric to make a blouse for a costume for a friend, and even for that purpose the material needed to be lined because it was thin enough to be too sheer in the white areas. The material is about as thick and sturdy as a satin bed sheet. I hope this helps.

It is a stiff fabric that is not soft on the front of the fabric to the touch. I would not use it for this. If you want something that will hold up to heavy wear & tear this would be fine. If you want something that has a medium weight with a soft feel, fabric.com has some beautiful suedes.

It would be perfect for that. I used it to cover a bulletin board to hang necklaces on in my bedroom. It turned out really well.

I think it would probably work well, it's not ultra thick, but did have nice stability. If you have any embossing/burning it should hold the design nicely. The price was pretty good, which is always a bonus when costuming.

I am relatively fair and get a little more color in the summer. The medium works well for me year round. Also it is so sheer that it doesn't add much color. Sounds like medium may be your best bet. You can see the actual color through the clear section. You might want to check if it can be exchanged if it looks too dark.

Might be, it's soft enough but not very warm though. I use it as a table cloth. And the threads on the edges are easy to become loose.
