Fundamentals of the fabric basically, there are three types
of fabrics on the market today; these are natural mixtures, synthetic (made by
man) or fabrics. Fabric blends are fabrics where natural and synthetic fibers
are used to make a type of fabric. Natural fibers are derived from plants or
animals; some of the animals used are sheep, goats, alpacas, rabbits and the
silkworm, which is used to make fine silk.
Some of the plants used are bamboo, cotton, linen, hemp, and
even pineapple leaves are used. Some of the natural fabrics are wool, silk,
cotton, linen and hemp. Synthetic fibers are manufactured by a chemical process
where chemicals are forced through small holes called rows. Some of the fabrics
produced from these fibers are polyester, nylon, acetate and spandex. When
natural and synthetic fibers are used together to create fabrics, many
different fabrics can be created, because each fiber acts differently and has
its own qualities. When wool and cotton are mixed together they provide greater
comfort, while ramie and polyester are easier to care for. All fabrics, whether
natural or synthetic, are woven, not woven or woven. Woven fabrics include
fabrics such as muslin, poplin and taffeta.
There are three main types of fabrics, and they are plain,
twill and satin. There are many other tissues that are different variations of
these three. Knitted fabrics are the most comfortable to wear close to the body
due to their ability to stretch. There are many different fabrics, such as
jersey, double stitch, rib knit, interlocking and elastic knit. Non-woven
fabrics are simply joined by various chemical processes, and these fabrics are
not very resistant. Normally they are not used in fashion design. You feel an
example of a non-woven fabric. As all fabrics are different, some are naturally
easier to use than others.
Plain woven fabrics, which are made of cotton or light wool,
are perfect for those who are just learning to sew; while satin and other
transparent fabrics are more difficult to work with, and are for the most
advanced sewers. There is a lot to learn about fabrics, and it takes a while to
get familiar with all of them and to know what fabrics are suitable for each
type of project. Sewing patterns usually give recommendations of what types of
fabrics will work best for the pattern. Until you feel comfortable with the
fabrics, it is better to follow those guidelines.
