HOW ABOUT ALL OF 'EM

Joann's is my haunt for fabric. Got some stretch green velvet today, gonna make great Hulk skin. Sometimes I find useful stuff in thrift stores, leopard print spandex for one.

That's a good suggestion. I poke around most of them, going through the sniglet bins.

Has anyone tried making a basic Mego jumpsuit from poplin? I'm using it for a costume, and it has some stretch, but not like spandex. It's hard to explain. Unless someone chimes in that it doesn't work, I'm going to give it a try with some of my scraps and see how it turns out.

I think lightweight poplin would work well for some civilian clothing and jumpsuits. Some of it stretches a bit because of added polyester, some is all-cotton.,
