I recently acquired some of this fabric and was wondering if anyone had experience working with it, and advice to share before I begin. I found care instructions on the manufacturer's website but haven't found much in the way of sewing tips, so if any special tricks would be worth knowing, I'd appreciate it!! TIA! |

Is that the fabric that is used for bathing suits or outdoor play suits that is like a sunblock?

| playsuits, yes. swimsuits, no. It's a loose weave with a slightly rough texture. |

This is news to me, never heard of it. Can you wash/dry like other fabrics?

I think I know what you mean, I knew someone whose son was allergic to the sun and he had suits made up of a loosely woven fabric from head to toe, including hoods. But I never ever took a very close look at it at all. Good luck with the search!
