This is great!! I've been trying to learn more about textiles and this is amazingly helpful, thank you soooo much!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Seeing it put into this way, it makes more sense where some fabrics fall. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAh love! I seriously regret the day I sold back my textiles book. Dumbest mistake ever.
ReplyDeleteCan you make one about what's washable and what isn't?
That's what I miss the most about it, because I learned that clothing companies are lazy and more things really can be washed than they tell us.
That's interesting! I was just about everything that says I shouldn't. I never pay very much for my clothes and I figure that if I can't machine wash it I don't want it anyway so who cares what it looks like when it comes out.
DeleteThis is a great resource, it's super interesting!
ReplyDeleteThis series is just amazing! When I start sewing more again, I am will be so glad to have these to refer to!
ReplyDeleteI have an unusual question for you if you don't mind? I am know NOTHING about fabrics- I'll be the first to admit, but I heard that silk can be expensive.
ReplyDeleteI am looking for a material that is just as light-weight as silk, cheaper (and hopefully comes in a variety of colors) as I am looking to learn to spin Veil Poi.
Do any fabrics come in mind that I could buy in stores rather than have to purchase from online shops?
Thanks for your help!
