Other Apparel Fabrics

Not every fabric fits one of the main groups. This is where clothing fabrics gather that belong to no fixed category – often single pieces, blended qualities or fabric available only in small amounts.

As the composition varies here, it is worth reading the details given with each article. They state the material, the width and the care instructions – the three pieces of information that decide whether a fabric suits your pattern.

The key question is whether the fabric stretches. Patterns for knits rely on that stretch, patterns for wovens manage without it. If nothing is stated, a simple test at the edge of the fabric helps.

If you need a particular amount, check availability before cutting: with single pieces it is rarely possible to order more should the fabric run short.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell whether a fabric stretches?

Pull gently across an edge. If the fabric gives way and springs back, it is a knit. If it stays rigid, it is a woven fabric – and that calls for a different pattern.

Why are some fabrics only available in small amounts?

Because they are remnants or single pieces. If you need a larger quantity, check availability before cutting – reordering is usually not possible with such articles.

Which details should I check before buying?

Material, width and care instructions. The material determines handle and drape, the width determines how much you need, and the care instructions show whether the fabric suits the planned garment.
