    Love this series about fabrics. An easy way to remember is weft goes left so it’s the horizontal x

    I'm enjoying this video series on wovens! I would love to see something similar for knits. I find them much harder to shop for because in person shops often don't give you the full composition but when shopping online it's harder to really get a sense of the weight, softness, stretch etc. to know if it'll work for a pattern. I know spandex and elastane are often included for recovery but not always--what kinds of patterns are good for knits without those? I also don't know what to expect from modal vs. hemp vs. bamboo vs. just cotton knits OR what to expect from different weights or types. For example, I know ponte knits are usually denser, heavier weight knits but don't have similar rules of thumb for any other type of knit.
    I would love to buy some various sweater knit fabrics for the upcoming winter season to replace some very old rtw tops, and some mid-weight polyester-free knits to make long sleeve tees and undershirts but quickly get overwhelmed picking out fabrics.

      Hi, thank you so much for your comment, yes I am planning to build on this series over time and am actually planning a sweatshirt knit video and lighter weight knits video in the next few months

    Very informative ❤ I was taught, warp runs the length of the fabric, weft runs from weft to right 😉😆

      The very lightweight, low threadcount cotton, often used as dress lining - is that single gauze?

    very helpful. I do like sewing with cotton to make tops. I’ve made a list of types which I will ask for when next shopping for fabric ❤ 🇨🇦

    Hi. Very informative video. Thank you. I feel a bit overwhelmed with fabric types. I seem to always get it wrong! I love the brushed cotton dress. What’s the name of the pattern please?

      It can definitely be overwhelming, but hopefully these videos will help with that! A lot of online fabric shops will send you fabric swatches so you can feel them before placing an order - if it's not obvious on their website you can drop them an email and usually they'll be more than happy to help

    Super video Hayley, oddly enough I thought of you the other day while tidying the sewing room and found my very first SHJ magazine, which was number 4. My friend was one the very first subscribers and as soon as I saw her box I knew I wanted one for myself :D

    lovely clear explanations Hayley. One question, what pattern are you wearing?? I'm in the market for a reasonably. straightforward Pinafore pattern, any ideas?! 🐾🐾

    • @SewHayleyJane
      @SewHayleyJane  2 месяца назад +2

      It’s a Pattern Emporium Seachange jumpsuit, I’ve made it a few times - it’s very flowy so great for summer or layered up in the winter. For more of a pinafore style I love Helen’s closet york
