My Favourite Fabrics to work with.

        Although I enjoy wearing stretchy synthetic material it can be a nightmare to work with, unless you have the proper equipment. A good walking foot and stretchy thread is a must, plus a machine with a good stretch stitch, or serger. Now that being said I actually love working with materials with no stretch at all, cotton, linen and canvas even. They are so nice to tailor, they line right up neat as you please.  I only mention this because the cherry red material is a linen. It frays a little quicker than I'd like because it is a looser weave but the cutting is glorious.
