Continuous Cut Promise

Multi yard orders ship as one piece. A 5 yard order is a single 5 yard length, never five loose 1 yard cuts. That keeps backdrop seams and skirt pleats clean.

Yard Is Not a Meter

A yard is 36 inch while a meter is 39.37 inch. If your pattern speaks in meters, confirm the unit with the seller before cutting so you never run short mid project.

Where This Cloth Earns Its Keep

Six proven uses drawn from event stylists, caterers, dressmakers, and school buyers. Each card tells you how much to start with.

Events

Backdrops and Stage Decoration

Thin drape falls smooth behind speakers and debutantes. Start with 5 to 10 yards per panel and gather for fullness.

Catering

Table Skirting and Table Covers

The classic catering use. 2 yards skirts one front span, 5 yards wraps a round table with soft pleats.

Home

Thin Curtains

Lets daylight through while softening glare. Measure the window, then double the width so gathers look full when closed.

Apparel

Inner Lining

Lines dresses, gowns, bags, and curtains without bulk. Cool against skin and kind to chiffon shells.

School

Costumes and School Projects

Drama club capes, dance props, and class dioramas. Light weight keeps kids comfy and budgets intact.

Home

Thin Sofa Covers

Drapes over armrests and seat backs for parties and photo shoots. Add 10 to 15 percent extra for pattern turns and tucking.

Buying Guide: Online Listing or Tagum Walk In

Market listings price this cloth from budget promo to mall retail. Use these checks so the cheapest per yard tag truly wins.

Online Marketplace Tips

Promo tags on big platforms look tempting. Confirm the width is 60 inch, confirm the unit is yards, and read reviews for color truth. Shipping long rolls to Mindanao adds cost fast, so weigh free shipping vouchers against local pickup at zero freight.

Tagum Walk In Tips

Hand check beats photos. Hold the bolt to light for weave evenness, feel for crisp starch, and sight down the roll edge for straight cutting. Bring a tape, verify 60 inch across, and buy the full project length in one cut for one dye lot.

Price context only, not a promise: market guides quote about 25 to 60 pesos per yard at retail and 18 to 35 per yard at wholesale hubs, with width and blend moving the tag. Message us for the current Tagum City per yard rate and pickup schedule.

Sewing and Care for Thin Cloth

Light cloth sews fast but frays and slips. These shop habits keep seams neat.

Before You Cut

Press on low heat, square the leading edge, and pin generously. Add 5 to 10 percent extra length for squared cuts and seam turns.

While You Sew

Use a sharp fine needle, shorten the stitch a touch, and finish raw edges with an overlock or French seam so lining and skirts survive washes.

After Each Event

Machine wash gentle, hang to drip dry, and press low. Polyester shrinks little, but blends with cotton deserve one wash before final hemming.

Questions Buyers Ask Us

Straight answers on silk names, sizes, cuts, colors, and pickup.

Is Geena silk real silk
No. Geena silk is a trade nickname for thin polyester utility cloth. It has a soft sheen on some bolts but none of the fiber or price of true silk. Buy it for covers, lining, and decor, never as bridal silk.
What exact size is 1 yard of your Geena fabric
1 yard is 36 inch long and 60 inch wide, or 91.44 cm by 152.4 cm. Usable width runs about 58 to 60 inch after the selvage, so plan curtain gathers on 58 inch to stay safe.
Will a multi yard order arrive in one piece
Yes. We cut multi yard orders as one continuous length. A 5 yard order arrives as a single 5 yard piece, which keeps backdrop drops and table skirts free of mid span seams.
Which colors can I order today
Core bolts include Green, Black, Purple, Red, Pale Pink, Pink, Lavender, and Yellow Gold, with more shades on our shop page. For weddings and team colors, message us first so we pull one dye lot for your full length.
