#193: Replay – Introduction to Garment Fabrics

from Check Your Thread: Sewing More Sustainably · host Zoe Edwards

A garment project that fails because it’s made from unsuitable fabric is both heartbreaking and costly. But navigating the selection available in fabric shops and online can feel overwhelming, particularly if you’re new to garment sewing, or have recently returned after some years. So in this solo episode, we’re going back to the basics of fabric. We’ll be laying the foundations on which to build our knowledge of fabric types, and what garment styles each fabric is suitable for.  Support the podcast over on Patreon! The downloadable PDF version of this episode, which includes lots of additional information, tips and images, can be found in the CYT online shop.
