Beginner's Sewing Course STEP 2 - Fabric 🤩
SEWING = FABRIC OBESSIONS🤩
But should it?
When I started sewing I was obsessed with buying fabric. I would go to discount fabric stores and leave with enormous bags full of any fabric I could find... What a HUGE MISTAKE 🙄
Almost ten years down the line and I am STILL stuck with pieces of fabric I would never buy today.
I made two mistakes:
- Not understanding that there are different kinds of fabric and how they are used when sewing
- Not knowing what kinds of fabric I like (not just what was on sale or what looked pretty)
YOUR NEXT TASK: Take a few minutes and learn a little about fabric. In the classroom you will find these videos all about a fabric:
QUICK LESSONS:
DEEPER LESSONS (if you like understanding WHY fabric has a certain name, description and use)
Don't forget to download the FABRIC GUIDE in the downloads section. It has lists of fabric and how to work with each type:

WHAT FABRIC DO I NEED FOR THE LOUNGE SHORTS?
For this project you will need:
- non-stretchy fabric (called woven fabric) that isn't too thick i.e "medium weight"
- think of Pajama bottoms when choosing the fabric: does this feel like something kind-of sturdy but not as thick as jeans? And not as thin as silky pyjamas?
- an old sheet is a great start!
- Fabric suggestions: flannel , cotton , chambray
I DO NOT RECOMMEND : satin, rayon challis, viscose, georgette for a beginner!
