In the first episode of my brand new series I'm focusing on woven cotton fabrics for the home dressmaker and helping to demystify what all the types mean and what you can use them for.
Follow this link to my blog post for show notes and links to the fabrics and patterns I mention in the video.
Trying to understand all the different types of fabric out there can seem like a daunting task, not just for beginners but for more experienced dressmakers too. There are different technical names, weights, thicknesses, fibre mixes and weaves, so it can all feel a bit overwhelming.
In this new fabric focus series, I hope to make things a bit clearer for those of you planning a dressmaking project because matching the right fabric to the right pattern to achieve the look you want is key to a successful project that will become part of your handmade wardrobe.
I sell a wide range of dressmaking fabrics and patterns on my online store at www.guthrie-ghani.co.uk/shop and we ship worldwide!
PS. In the video I'm wearing a Grainline willow tank made using our Robert Kaufmann Homespun cotton/linen blend.
I also knitted my cardigan - its from the Uniform book by Grainline patterns and madder.
