How to Pick Fabrics for Your Fashion Collection

[@zoehongteaches]

Please give this video a thumbs up if you learned something new today! Don't forget to practice putting together fabric stories!

[@MashabaZA]

Can you please make a video on how to choose the right CMT and also, how to choose a Pattern Maker. In my town, not we dont have many places that can do both, nevermind just help guide a new designer to get the first collection done and online. Please help!!! PS _ i did watch the kathleen one, it is great!

[@connorroyce9975]

[@connorroyce9975]

@Killian Solomon It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!

[@JacquiPoetryDesigns]

How I wish I had you as a teacher!

[@miniareechot6952]

Me too.

[@GTAB89]

I usually get so overwhelmed going into the fabric store to shop but know I feel like I have a guideline to go by. Thank you!

[@soidee]

Oh yes! You threw a lot of good information into my face. I have to admit that I feel a bit overwhelmed about the fabrics' subject, but as you always say: it's our media, I do have to go and immerse myself in the subject, I am sure that as I get more familiar with it I will enjoy it more and more. Thanks for share so generously your knowledges and to motivate by transmitting your respect and passion for fashion.

[@baeyuhtrice]

i'm pursuing fashion design as the creative strand for my SCALE and i'm using your videos as reference!! 💖 thank you for being helpful

[@arsenejoshuambenga1652]

everything about the vid, illustration, tone of voice is perfect in all your videos, it makes fashion design and learning much easier. Thank you for this channel

[@craftscor]

This video includes so much pertinent information! and it's free! Thank you so much. it will definitely make it easier for me when selecting my fabrics.

[@hooveryuhauchung1270]

Thank you Zoe! This is quite helpful for breaking it down into an easy-to-follow systematic creative thought process. To see how you sketch is great learning too.

[@alexanderpons9246]

Wow, again Zoe Hong thank you so very much for making these great videos with very relatable facts to the Fashion Industry! On one hand you encourage us to be creative while on the other hand you make sure we keep in mind the true facts that we will need in order to be able to make it in the real world of clothing. Like you mentioned as well as the guest you had as a Costume Designer in a previous video, its so important to know fabrics because in the end its what makes it or breaks it. So fortunate to live in times when we all have access to great information like your channel!

[@missavund3286]

This is so helpfull, thank you! Even though im not a designer, i only sew as a hobby, the shopping tree will make shopping fabric easier

[@pallavipandey1055]

Pleasing to look at and legible at the same time.

[@mpolokengkhabo3507]

Thank you Zoe, this was very helpful

[@kimsichul3339]

I used to do this when I was a student. however when working in a large convection factory, it is better to use a straight body design, and clarify cuts and creases in the design so that pattern makers and tailors can translate it more easily

[@iamkman]

Can you please do a video series on sports wear, Athleisure trend

[@zoehongteaches]

What do you want to learn?

[@purpleangel11gf]

SUCH A GREAT TEACHER THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️

[@amywang5034]

[@zoehongteaches]

I'm fine, you can stop worrying. Thank you.

[@yasmeenelsarky9916]

Hey Zoe...thank you so much! How do you get fabric suppliers to send you these swatches?

[@zoehongteaches]

You ask the supplier, but you need to be a legit fashion business first.

[@nooralhaddad381]

[@JO-vd4yw]

I need to know what you’re using to sketch. That underlying body shape mat (GENIUS) and the thickness of paper you’re sketching on. K thanks byeeeeeee

[@zoehongteaches]

The paper is marker paper and the "body shapes" are figure templates I made that I sell at shop.zoehong.com

[@tanishakjain9543]

hey zoe hong .. one question that after done with colour board , cloth choose n ll.. we should go with actual design of a piece of cloth right?

[@sambakir6832]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@Yu-is2zo]

Love your vids

[@jadatheeassassin]

Did you try fashionary? And could you maybe put the videos in maybe a text like format?

[@wonholover1507]

I have one question can we buy those templates from u? Sorry but I'm new Idk much

[@zoehongteaches]

Not that exact one, but I sell similar ones at zoehong.etsy.com

[@hilyahthedesigner]

Hi, Ms Zoe. What are the color pencils/ballpens did you use? And is this tracing papers? Thank you and God bless you :)

[@Jenishka]

Is there a video talking about all the fabrics arounds ? Im learning by myself , and sometimes its kinda overwhelming because i dont know which direction to choose . I wanna make like a * paleter * but with samples of fabrics ....

[@zoehongteaches]

Watch my Fabrics playlist.

[@Gabrielalbi96]

Hi =) Can you suggest some books in wich is explained in particular the use of fashion fabrics depending of season?

[@analapenda9924]

I am from croatia and im 14 and i really dream about being fashion designer. I even hope after high school i will go abroad in fashion design school.
P.S love u Zoe❤
Im so stupid 😂

[@sethdylan1596]

@Zoe Hong Would you be a star and make a video on 'different fabrics to braid with'? Covering textures, softness, asthetic appeal etc
I would really enjoy that and it would be a massive help for me!
Keep up the awesome work. We share the same level of excitement when picking fabrics.
Something which might make you laugh. Do you name you're sewing machine? I named mine Penelope and I speak to her as if she was my first vehicle getting me from A to B 😂🙈🙊

[@zoehongteaches]

No, that's a matter of personal preference and usage. My only advice is to pick something that doesn't fray easily, like leather. Unless you want a frayed look. See, even that is about preference.

[@sethdylan1596]

@@zoehongteaches It needs to be the darkest black i can find, preferrably eco-friendly, but not essential, have a distressed look, but not fall apart, not hugely exspensive and to cover a full length robe (head to toe) Any ideas?
I'm also looking for a smooth, soft to the skin, black, non frayable, fabric, something which can be good for knots too. Any advice would be grand :)

[@Vivypips]

Me: I should start my homework
Also me: oh a Zoe Hong vid I haven't seen yet! That's like homework.

Close enough. hahahahahahaha~
