About this event
LearningDon’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?
In this mostly theoretical 3-hour workshop, led by a sewing specialist, you’ll learn the best ways to distinguish the different fabrics used to sew garments, and how to make the wisest choices. You can expect to:
– Learn to identify fabrics through observation with a magnifying glass and touch.
– Differentiate between the characteristics of different types (fit, weight, fall and appearance).
– 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.
