Choosing and Using Garment Fabrics with Brittany

Have you ever gotten overwhelmed trying to choose the perfect fabric for your next garment? Maybe you didn’t know how to interpret the recommended fabrics list on your pattern. Or maybe you got completely confused by the description of a fabric online. Or maybe you’re just not sure how to tell how a fabric will look once it’s made into a garment. 

This class will break down the different types of fabrics available to garment sewists and talk about how fabric type and fiber content work together to affect the look, feel, and performance of your final garment. We’ll cover how to tell whether a fabric will work for your project, how to choose your notions for different fabric types, and how to care for both your yardage and your finished garment.

Students will learn:

• • How to pick suitable fabrics for different garments

  • How fiber content and fabric type affect the final garment

  • How to select cutting implements, interfacings, and needles

  • How to care for fabric yardage and completed garments
