I honestly think most people have a relatively small list of fabrics they like to wear, whether the clothes are purchased or hand made. Personally, I sew primarily in cotton twill (skirts, trousers, jackets, boleros) and quilting cotton (blouses, dresses). If I find a fabric I love, I will also use rayon or wool for certain projects, but I will only purchase a rtw dress if it is rayon or a natural fibre. The texture and fibre content are the real dealbreakers for me.

Fabric I most often use: cotton bedsheets (really soft when preused, and can be dyed for a nicer colour), whatever linnen I find (preferably soft and with a dense enough weave that it's not seetrough) and all the wools (mostly felted, though for some reason, but I want to start to use more thinner wools with weaved patterns, too). I tend to have a habit of using too thick fabric, as I most often gravitate to clothes with gathers, so I would need more drapey fabrics. But somehow I still managed to make a gathered sleeve cap on my winter coat made out of thick felted wool, that would take no pressing whatsoever. It looks fabuolus, but the thickness made it hard to work with.

Ooh! My favourite fabrics are: Linens, like all linens, but I tend to use a mid-weight. I use them for skirts mostly and some shirts. I love midweight Japanese cottons, because they don't crease that much at all, they're available in great prints and they're thick enough that you can use them for skirts without lining them (I've gotten mine from brick and mortar stores and also online stores based in Asia - I'm in Australia so buying things from Asia is very doable shipping-wise.)Cotton lawns and voiles, which I use for shirts. I will sometimes use quilting cottons for shirts but it isn't my preference. Shirting cottons are great, I tend to prefer ones with a softer hand than poplin. I also do like wool suitings which I make skirts out of, and I've made things from cotton drill and corduroy before. Corduroy is a fun fabric, more forgiving than velvet and very cosy. Rarely I'll find a nice lightweight rayon which I'll use for a blouse or something. I mostly make skirts and button up shirts - I don't sew with knits, I don't sew with synthetics, and I would *like* to make jackets and pants but fitting is hard and I haven't found or made a good pattern yet. I do occasionally make a dress but I'm really bad at actually wearing dresses, so they tend to just...sit in my wardrobe not pulling their weight while I reach for skirts instead. For those wondering I live in a dry, oceanic climate - köppen classification CFB, which can range in temperature from below 0c in winter to 40c in summer, so I make things for a wide variety of temperatures. Linen is also great if you're in a humid or more tropical area so when I'm travelling to those places (recently went to far north queensland) I always bring some. The fabric stores here don't sell a lot of rayons for whatever reason - linen is really popular at most of the better stores, and you can barely ever get silk (plus sewing with silk satin or silk chiffon is a nightmare - silk crepe is much better but can you get it? Not really.)

I prefer silk for sewing as it comes in various thicknesses. The reality is that I no longer can afford it. Mostly I sew with quilting cotton as it makes very sturdy button front blouses that I can wear as casual or professional. My next projects will involve rayon blend knits. They were three and five yards for $8. Appears to be a a remnant. The knit lace all became a simple pull over dress to be worn with either a black or red slip. May make a top out of it if there is enough left over. The other knit is a soft brushed floral. Am going to make a pull on pencil skirt and a pull over dress. The dresses can easily be dressed up or down, so it does double duty. Am currently working on a rayon silky for an Armistice blouse.

try linen voile/handkerchief linen! It's a lovely lightweight linen. Linen doesn't cling as much as cotton does so it breathes even better in a hot humid climate. I know a lot of people don't like that it creases, but I don't care too much, and if you get a printed linen it'll be less obvious. Cotton lawn is also great. I'm a big fan of liberty tana lawn. It doesn't crease that badly and there are so many beautiful prints (which will hide the creases)

@@hln5819 Well even all their patterns are probably pretty similar, so I don't think you can go too wrong really. I actually have a suspicion that the McCalls, Butterick, and Vogue shells are all the same exact pattern for example, because all three brands are owned by the same parent company now. The cheapest is the McCalls currently somethingdelightful.com/m2718 I also have a video talking about making basic blocks from commercial patterns that outlines what to look for in a pattern in order to convert it into a working block which is here kzitem.info/news/bejne/pYuq34SGp6ZzpYY But again I'll be covering this in more detail literally later this month 😅
