Looking forward to watching these. Still being fairly new to sewing and not living near many fabric shops I buy most of my fabric on line which obviously means I can't handle the fabric to feel what it's like. These videos will hopefully help me make better fabric choices. Thanks for spending the time to make them. Much appreciated. X

this has been very helpful, im planning to make a wardrobe for 2 weeks in singapore. i knew what i was looking for, by the FEEL, but not the terminology. i think ive narrowed things down to 3 fabrics, open weave linen, lawn cotton and voile cotton, because it'll be 25-35celcius and humid. the chart was especially useful, thankyou!

I've never heard weft called woof but it is also called fill! There are two ways we were taught to remember in school: the first is warP, the down bar on the P is the direction of the warp while weFT, the cross bars on the F and T go across like the weft! Also weft and fill both have an F, and it's easier to remember how the fabric is being woven because it gets "filled" in along that direction. The ways we remember course and wale in knits are even funnier 😆

love watching you girls , you remind me of myself and my best friend . I love sewing my mom's mom was a schooled seamstress , after school she went to sewing bridal gowns , she taught my mom , and I learned from my mom. I wish I could have known my grandmother , mom says I remind her of grandma because of the way I can see a garment design finished when I see a piece of fabric . I love to take articles of clothing and remake it to suite my needs. I love the challenge , and it's just my artistic mind. I have watched all your videos , and look forward to new ones , have even watched your videos more than once, when you have one that talks about something I haven't yet learned. this particular program is one I needed, I have never learned the technical name and proper use for each fabric , this is a 5 star from me because it is just what I've needed . thanks

Well I couldn't help myself and watched the first one last night. Really helpful information regarding terminology. I buy a lot of fabrics off the internet because of where I live and then collect them when I visit the UK which is usually once a year so this will help me immensely. Okay going to sit down and start watching the rest with a nice cup of tea while I get on with knitting some socks!

Surely the simplest way to distinguish WEFT from warp is that the word WEFT is derived from the word, WEAVING, where a thread is laterally interwoven between the fixed threads of the longitudinal framework called warp.

I am quite new to sewing and am sort-of teaching myself as I go along. I am not really familiar with fabric types, so will be saving this series 😉. Do you have a recommendation on where to find something like a book that contains little pieces of fabric that you can feel, as well having descriptions on what type of fabric it is?

as for Gaga, fabric shops are a couple of bus rides away and not close. I am hoping that your series will help me in choosing my fabrics online. Just the first 5 minutes of this one I learnt new terminology and understood terms I had already heard of but wasn't sure what they meant. 😀 I also wanted to ask a question - if you have a quantity of material that is a cut of (or say reclaimed from clothing) - how do you tell where the selvedge would have been?

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I live on a boat in the Med and do my fabric shopping online. I've been making bags for about a year using craft cottons but have been watching sewing vloggers for months poised to make garments. At Christmas I bought a Cashmerette Concord top pattern and have been dithering over the fabric I need. I've also just had delivered Tilly's book, 'Stretch'. Knowing different fabrics is so difficult when you can't physically touch the material and although I'm waiting for a Spoonflower swatch book to arrive, seeing you handle and explain the fabrics makes it much easier to understand. I've binge watched and saved all your videos in this series for future reference. Thanks again. Gail a.k.a. @landgirlafloat

Crepe is a weave as well and interests me a lot since I love to sew on the bias and this is apparently the best for that. It has a twist in the weave process and comes in different fibers like wool and silk - does it come in other fibers do you know? I don't think there is such a thing as cotton crepe is there? I'd love it if you spoke about this a bit :) Thank you so much for this video and series! I learned more here than in any book I've read!
