Subject: Re: elastic fabric

Hi Mike,
What kind of gray material? cotton? The elastic denim and corduroy would
definitely not be things that you would use in a museum setting-- whatever
the elastomeric portion of the denim is (lastex, spandex, rubber) will very
likely break down over time, and the dyes from any of these fabrics could
potentially migrate. The corduroy and elastic denim will also be much harder
to work with than the muslin and will probably not create a surface that you
will want up next to all your costumes for a long time-- I am imagining
little wales pressed into the pieces that are hanging on corduroy hangers!
Unbleached muslin is not that expensive, especially when bought in bulk, and
while it may seem a waste to leave behind all this gray, corduroy, and
denim, I think you would regret using them in the long run. It probably
isn't worth the time and expense to find someone to oddy test these specific
fabrics (although that's up to you)-- by the time you had results, you could
have ordered the muslin, washed it (to remove any sizing or manufacturing
materials) and made many more hangers and coverings.
Good luck-- let me know if you have any more questions on this.

For Princeton University's numismatic collections, housed in
Firestone Library , see:

I'm just an admirer of the exhibitions that use the collections. The
expert is Prof. Alan Stahl.

Subject: Hotel sheets

Be very careful that any sheets you get are 100% cotton. Most sheets
these days have some polyester in the blend which is not good for your
garments.

Subject: Re: elastic fabric

Hi all,
 
Yes, I second or third some others' suggestion for using stockinette, which is a knitted cotton fabric.  It is stretchy because it's knitted.  In museum practice, a plastic hanger is basically wrapped with layers of polyfelt or polybatting (free of bonding agents) to pad it out, then covered with stockinette tubing.  This really minimizes stitching as well--you basically stitch the ends of the sausage closed with minimal other stitching as necessary.  This is it in a nutshell and would be preferable over any corduroy or denim fabric covering as well as any spandex.
 
Good luck!

What about the use of stockinet (used in the medical field) for this purpose?  I know it is springy but I thought that came from the way it is woven.
