Please can someone in South Africa let me know if you can buy Mylar here. I have been asking the stores but not much help.

You can also use organza fabric(it cuts away quiet easily) also available in glitter that shines through beautifully

Hi you can get it from Hatched In Africa( I get my Embroidery Designs from them )look up the SA phone number they post it to you

thanks for all your help will keep on trying
Wendy

Hi Wendy,
We have also not been able to get in here in Cape Town as yet.

I bought mine from site below

Our Pietermaritzburg Bernina shop stocks it. Maybe the other Bernina shops may have it

Hi, You might like to try where they have ballet costumes made.My niece had some shimmery/plastic fabric on a tutu but it was when she was little. Also try the Bride Shop in Gale St.
Mylar is used like applique,and the sparkle of it shines through the stitching.
Lots of luck in finding something suitable
Have a great day
