I am looking for fabric that I can drape on the ceiling of a school to decorate for an event. I need it to flow. Do you think this is a good choice?

I think this is a good choice of fabric for that. The only thing to be aware of is that chiffon frays easily on the side where it is cut, so you just have to make sure that it doesn't get pulled to much on that side.

I would color test the items in a small area first but with London Fog the fabric should be colorfast. It should work great.

Either will do fine. In the quilt there is green, rose, purple, maroon, yellow, etc. with a white base. I use sheers on a double rod, cream against the window and pink over them. I can easily switch to green or whatever to alter the mood/effect. Really, I could have written that you can freely use any color.

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.

My grand kids have this, one is nearly 13 (out of the tween stage soon) the last structure she made in her bedroom is a Karaoke corner stage, that she draped with sheer sparkly fabric that we had for a table covering for a shower, it is adorable and her tween buddies that sleep over, sing their hearts out. all love it, the adorable thing has lasted for a few months now. I'd say watch for fabric sales and have at it.

This fabric is nice & soft & lightweight & sheer. Using it in between two layers of a very sheer fabric would give a tiny bit of extra 'body' overall. I wouldn't say it'll act like batting, but it will change the hand of the item being made. It washes very well.

It is not as thick as the regular painting canvas a person would purchase at a craft store, but I did use it to paint on. I used plain acrylic paint mixed with a fabric medium. I'm currently using it as a rug. I heard of others using regular wall paint and hanging them as curtains. If you want high quality, this probably is not your best option. However, for the price, I would try it. Worse case scenario would be to use it as a drop cloth or start a different project:)

It's quite stiff and thick but the weave is a little loose so it wouldn't totally block light. It's a bit like an upholstery weight linen, but with a more synthetic feel because indoor outdoor. It would make a nice curtain but I think you'd want to line it anyway as the print is only nice on one side. It would be somewhat better as a fabric for a blind because it's quite stiff. It's pretty fabric! I bought it for outdoor cushions. Hope that helps. :)

If the fabric is washable, it should be fine for a presoak. In fact, it would best to do this. If your drapes are silk or a fabric that can only be drycleaned, it probably is not a good idea. However, since that smell will probably not come out with just drycleaning, they are pretty much ruined already,so try it and see if it works.

Take the wall color in the room into consideration and you could either use solid color drapes (sheers go nice with this) or valances. I used valances and picked up the beige color (darker beige) but any of the colors will go nice. Enjoy. It is so pretty.

Fabric is a light weight bleached muslin. It could be painted as a backdrop, but would advise sizing before you paint if it's a detailed image. Would take aniline dyes well too.

It's vinyl fabric, so you should be good with bleach-based products. I have only used bleach once, and I didn't see any issues.

It's fairly thick...I use it as a drape over the table for communion. It would probably work for an offering bag. But I suppose that depends on how durable you need it to be. It's certainly not a flimsy fabric.

I used this in my bedroom, I couldn't do a hanging chandelier due to a lower ceiling. It is beautiful, go for it!

Hi Sierra, the quality is comparable to some of the better-vinyl shower curtains found at Target-level stores. As for the thickness, I wish I had a .mil rating with which to offer you a quantitative answer. However, I can tell you that whie I do use a clear liner with mine (to keep the curtain itself cleaner/decrease laundering), due to the curtain's frosted background, you may find a liner to be unnecessary. NB: After nearly one year, my PEVa-Owl-curtain has held-up very nicely thru several trips in the gentle cycle. Colours remain bright, and the article continues to add a delightful, whimsical air to the bathroom where it hangs. --C.C., Amazon Prime Member-Reviewer

I think it would look beautiful. I bought this last year for my guest room and I love it so much I might get it for our master. It's holding up well also. The colors are very nice..not too bright...very coastal look. :)
