Visiting a Fabric Store

Do you like the idea of wearing designer clothes...without paying designer prices? Selecting just exactly the right style, color, and fabric? Then our video Visiting a Fabric Store may be just what you need! We explore the wide range of choices for sewers today as well as cover: advantages and disadvantages of different fabrics; different types of finishes (crease-resistant, water repellent, durable press); which fabrics work best for different types of garments; and more. For example: Cotton is comfortable and easy to care for, but is it really the best choice for that tailored jacket? Not only will beginners get a solid foundation on fabric types and styles, but experienced sewers will become even more proficient. Becoming knowledgeable about fabrics and finishes will help you make the best choices for that one-of-a-kind garment! (17 min.) A Meridian Production.
