Black cotton tulle, an upper end designer favorite (and a personal favorite of mine too)...hard to find. Southern California designer deadstock with a nice drape, easy to sew and a pleasure to wear in hot weather. Use in a single or double layer. For tops, T's, cardi, shrug, or line for a skirt. Great for trims, edges, sleeves or to combine with other fabrics.

Dramatic floral with a double-border and dotty center panel is printed in black on white mesh. Sheer, soft and drapey with lengthwise stretch, so cut on the crossgrain. Borders are 14" and the repeat is 8". This is a semi-sheer lightly textured mesh that can be used in a single layer over a cami, used in a double layer or lined for a simple top, dress, cardigan or T. I also use these sheers for sleeves, edgings and trims.
Stitching over the open spaces in lace and mesh could cause problems. Totally Stable to the rescue. While you can use tissue paper or even computer paper, Totally Stable works like a charm because it is designed as a tear-away for machine embroiderers. It is a fusible too, but I ignore that entirely. One side has a light fusible and is slightly shiny, the other is matte. It comes in white and black. (On a side note, this works beautifully on knits to prevent waffling and rippling). It does not matter which side is up. I cut a batch into 1" strips, place on top of the area to be sewn and stitch away. On a long seam, just overlap the strips. Even works on curves. Curve or cut in sections to fit as Totally Stable is soft and a bit malleable. It tears away easily, does not get caught in the stitching, even tiny stitches, it sort of dissolves. If some remains in the stitches it is easy to pull out, which is not the case with other papers like computer paper or tissue paper.
Pre-treat by machine wash gentle and air dry, and do the same after sewing.

Gorgeous graceful black and white butterfly lace, fine quality deadstock from Southern California designer Monique L'huillier. A beautiful linen, transparent, supple, lightly textured, lightly dimensional, with a 12½" repeat. It can be fun to layer a lace over an opaque knit or woven for a new effect. Use in a single layer for a simple top or tee and wear a cami underneath, use for a little shrug or an overdress with simple lines.
