Fabric selection process

Selecting the Right Fabric

Fabric choice affects how garments look, feel, and perform. We consider drape, weight, texture, and care requirements when making recommendations.

Different projects require different materials. A structured blazer needs different fabric than a flowing dress. We guide you through options that suit your vision and lifestyle.

Linings & Interfacings

Garment Linings

Proper linings improve structure, comfort, and durability. We select linings that complement outer fabrics and enhance garment performance.

Interfacing

Stabilizing materials for collars, cuffs, and structured areas. We choose interfacing weight and type appropriate for each application.

Underlining

Additional layers for opacity, structure, or protection. Used when outer fabric benefits from support or coverage.

Thread & Notions

Quality thread ensures seams hold and repairs last. We match thread to fabric type and color, using appropriate weights and compositions.

Buttons, zippers, and other hardware are selected for durability and aesthetic compatibility. We source quality notions that enhance rather than detract from garments.

Guidance Available

Unsure about fabric choices? We provide guidance on material selection, yardage requirements, and suitability for your project.

Quality Check

We assess fabric condition and suitability before beginning work. This ensures realistic expectations and successful outcomes.

Material Considerations

Fabric weight affects drape and structure. Lightweight fabrics flow differently than heavy materials. We consider weight when designing and constructing garments.

Grain direction matters. Proper cutting ensures garments hang correctly and seams behave as intended. We pay attention to grain alignment throughout construction.

Care requirements influence fabric selection. Some materials need special handling, while others are more forgiving. We discuss care needs during material selection.

Pattern matching requires extra fabric. Stripes, plaids, and directional prints need careful planning. We calculate yardage requirements accurately.
