Learn a little bit about Fabric
Fabric that behaves
When you’re learning to sew, choose fabrics that behave nicely for you.
We recommend cottons, midweight linen, or linen blends. These fabrics are stable, easy to cut, and simple to stitch.
Skip the slippery or stretchy stuff for now.
Start with fabrics that hold their shape and build confidence first.
You can learn a little more about fabrics in our Fabric Glossary
