Don’t know which fabrics to use to make your clothes, or which are compatible with each other? Would you like to combine fabrics skilfully without getting a nasty surprise in the first wash?

– Learn about the various interlining options available and choose the right fabric to sew a prototype for your project.
– Understand the criteria and descriptions on a pattern pocket to buy the right fabric in a store or online.
