How to Choose the Right Fabric for Your Sewing Project

Sewing is often considered a serious profession and synonymous with terms such as "Tailor", "Tailoring" etc. Nonetheless, it is also one of the most popular hobbies with women folk and a practical way to enhance creative skill. Whether you are a professional or a self-made seamstress, the one thing that any sewing project demands is a fabric cloth—and not just any fabric. The choice and the quality will depend on the project itself. Whether you are undertaking a sewing project for a Kurti, Lehenga or designer Salwar Suit you first need to check the following -

The colour of the fabric.

Style and quantity of the cloth that you will be exploiting in your sewing project.

Pattern / Construction—Plain Dyed / Printed, Organza ,Georgette, Jacquard Fabric.

Your source of purchase. Online stores offer fantastic range of fabric for suit. If you would like to feel the material physically before buying then retail stores or dedicated textile markets is your best bet.

The dimensions and the composition of the fabric cloth.

Let us analyse the above mentioned "Check List" -

Colour - Although colour has little impact on any sewing project, you need to ascertain if it bleeds. Make sure you choose a fabric that has zero or minimum colour bleeding. A colour shedding garment post project completion can be a big setback. The idea is to prevent that sense of failure later.

Style& Quantity - Now, choosing the right quality of fabric is extremely important. If you are planning to stitch a Lehenga then your fabric for Lehenga must complement the design type. Drape, Flared, Pleated, Panelled and Fishtail Lehengas demand different fabrics and cloth lengths. On the other hand a Kurti will consume less fabric and therefore you need to order accordingly. One of the perfect examples is Silk. Different types of silk reflect different draping, sheen and shrinkage values. Your choice will depend on the design style.

Pattern | Construction - If you are looking for a fabric with a little more personality, Saraaha also offers a wide selection of print fabrics. Whether you prefer bold and bright prints or subtle and sophisticated patterns, their collection of print fabrics has something to suit every taste.

Online or Offline Store - Most of the womenfolk today support online fabric stores, and the reasons are -

As a buyer you don't need to step out of your house.

Browsing and analysing fabrics is fun, unlike offline stores where choosing a fabric can be exhausting.

Exploring a wide range of fabric quickly.

Online prices are cheaper than brick and mortar shops.

Moreover, most of the online fabric stores also offer designer fabric for religious and social occasions, wedding, engagement and anniversary.

Dimensions and Composition - One of the common mistakes many online fabric buyers commit is not checking the dimensions of the raw fabric. The width of the cloth typically varies from one source to another and therefore it becomes paramount to check the dimensions while buying fabric for men's clothing Composition is yet another factor not many take into consideration for their sewing project. By choosing the wrong blend or base fibre, your sewing project can quickly evolve into a failure.

Saraaha also offers an extensive selection of high-quality menswear fabrics for those who want to create stylish and comfortable clothing for men. From classic wool and tweed fabrics to modern blends and technical materials, Saraaha's menswear fabric collection has something to offer for every occasion.

"Junho" - an exercise in willow charcoal done 4/22/2024 in about 20 minutes of Lee Junho from 2PM

#this month it will be a FULL decade since i started this blog. but we were just a few short days #of making it 10 years without my kpop obsession leaking onto this sideblog. i thought we'd make it #i thought we'd make it but we didn't #my drawing #junho #2024 #2pm #lee junho #charcoal #willow charcoal #drawing exercise #i drew something else today but i'm saving it to post later #and i only wrote one poem today and it was crap. so here's an exercise #i like how most of the drawings i post to this blog are just beautiful men #it's overrepresented in my portfolio admittedly #im not exactly 'proud' of this but i do like posting my exercises now and then bc they are fun to look at #i find examining my rushed/practiced drawings to be a lot more helpful in spotting my own strengths and weaknesses #than finished drawings i put a lot of dedication in #with this one i can say that the nose is off-center and the skull doesn't go all the way around on the left #as much as it should. but since it's clearly not meant to be a fully 'good' drawing it's more forgivable #if i had slaved at this for four hours it would kill me to stare at that inaccuracy #also: this is yet another example of the 'diana likes to draw faces far more than clothes' style of portrait #it's not that i dislike drawing clothes but they are so much less fascinating to me #i could stare at faces forever. whereas fabric doesn't inspire me to craft every detail just so. #and it shouldn't. because fabric is far more forgiving than human anatomy anyway

off-the-rack clothing sizes make me want to bite someone

#personal #WHY DO SO MANY BRANDS NOT SELL MENS XS SHIRTS #like. yes im a tiny dude i realize that #but im not exactly an outlier! if i went to a busy mall and people-watched for a bit id for sure see other guys my size #brands will put XS on their fucking size charts and then NOT MAKE ANY CLOTHES IN THAT SIZE #i shop in kids sizes sometimes to compensate but the problem is theres often not a good selection #OR the kids sizes wont go up big enough!! #and ill be right in the horrible void between standard size ranges #where do the teen boys shop. i dont believe that they all grow so fast they skip right into adult sizes #see: all those other small guys at the mall #actually what im pissed off about today is sewing patterns because THEYRE THE SAME #was looking online in preparation for a fabric store trip #like. i will be able to find something. but it might have to be a pdf pattern and im pissed off about it

Fallout 4: it's been 200 years! Buildings crumble, plants ruin the pavement, everything collapsing. Fabric? Indestructable baybee! Just a lil dusty and scratched! Get you a brand spankin new 200 year old jacket!

Honestly I just wanna see some weaving and seamstresses in the post apocalyptic world.

#fallout 4 #clothes don't live for 200 years todd #you know men made it when... #such a female skill that they can't even consider it not just existing as if by magic #i know some of it is for setting but also how much thought did go into what happens after 200years? #not to even mention sanitary pads and tampons #who makes those? #a fabric maker would! #would be a hot commodity #give me fabric makers and seamstresses!

i really cannot overstate how boring and average my body is (in fact smaller than the uk average if it really is a size 16 and i'm sooooo proportional) and yet there are high street brands that stock my size as the largest available. how am i supposed to buy trousers in these circumstances??

#i do buy men's trousers these days but there's a specific fabric i want that happens to be popular in women's clothing rather than mens.

[omarfor-orchestra]

Btw my mom and my sister bought me boxers made for people with a vagina and let me tell y'all. I'm living.

#no they're not coulottes or whatever they're called #they're in cotton. COTTON. #not that weird itchy stretchy fabric i hate #but also they don't have that crotch part that you find in normal boxers that's a little annoying #and the elastic around the thigh is not too tight and also the fabric is not too long there so it doesn't rise when wearing pants #and they're good for the gender #which they know nothing about #they only know i like 'men' clothes because they are usually more comfortable and cheap #i recommend these

What if I wore my brown leather 1890's reproduction oxfords with green silk ribbons for laces with my green kimono I made out of vintage Italian wool. What then

#i am getting obsessed with historical fashion again thank god my special interests fade in and out #instead of poofing like laundry room vent steam in december #would suck hardcore to lose this fervor forever #the thing is #im compelled to produce historically accurate (or as close as i can get) pieces of womens 1890's european fashion and also kimonos #and other pieces of similar clothing of course #im planning on making a haori out of orange and cream buffalo plaid next #(bc i also have a compulsion to use mens suiting fabrics and other very american very masculine textiles) #oh oh and im gonna sew a corset (maybe - idk - im thinking about it) #and!!!!! #im working on a blackwatch kilt for my wife :)

Fashion changes too fast and doesn’t change fast enough

#pleated trousers barely had a moment and they're vanishing again #meanwhile the basic cut of men's trousers has barely changed in the last 10 years except super skinny has faded out #but like the rise is still basically the same (i.e. not super low but not high enough to be truly comfortable or to not need adjusting up) #this is all in the context of boring high street clothing for boring men like me #i've been seeing 'high rise men's trousers are on their way back in' for like 10 years but. where the fuck are they. certainly not in next #i need a job so i can buy fabric and make my own fucking trousers that fit #shut up dana

[smute]

i say this all the time but plus size clothing for men is so fucking depressing!!!!!!! WHERE IS THE COLOR?? WHERE ARE THE PATTERNS???? and im not even talking about like. 3 piece suits and business wear which is obviously more conservative by definition. but its everything. everything looks like urban camouflage including casual wear active wear even stuff that's intended to be fashionable or exciting or DARING or whatever only comes in acceptably masculine colors. you're allowed to dress a LITTLE more daringly BUT ONLY IN NAVY AND DARK GREEN lol go be invisible fatties!!!!!! <333 and every damn day i see womens clothes that fuck so unbelievably hard if i could i would never step foot in a men's department ever again

#seriously you filter by size #and its all black grey and poop brown #maybe some dark blue if you're lucky #IM NOT SOMEONES FUCKING DAD #unfortunately the womens sizes that fit over my body are made for people half my height #if i wasnt so ILL in the head #and had more free time #id just make my own clothes #have you seen fabric prices though #theres a reason why mass produced clothing is more affordable #and its not just exploitation #although that certainly helps lol #anyway #fashionable plus size clothing for women is also a very recent thing #but the situation is far better #than in any men's department #at least from my gay pov #i do have a few women's sweaters #and they all look like they have 3/4 sleeves lmao #i usually just roll them up #AANYWAy #menswear is joyless #&

cis men in pretty underwear on the mind,,,

[faggotry posting]

#not even underwear FOR men- Like it's those pretty lacey underwear for women- #so like;;; their dick just dosen't fit it properly and- and it just #its pressing up against the fabric so pretty #like no matter the guy's size; it'll probably buldge a bit #:floshed: #Istg i think i just have a minor feminization k1nk but the person is a dom- #minor in the way like- its nothing more than them wearing particular clothes and its SO pretty and I might die. #Not even a kink it just flusters me a lot (yeah I would call men mommy but we also ignore that-) #(that's another package- its not even in the traditional mkink way its just- calling them that- nothing more-) #i got issues and its all down to my gender ngl

[trans-cuchulainn]

a tip for fellow nervous trans people is that the pre-christmas period is a really good time to buy that clothing/underwear you've been afraid to buy in case anyone gave you weird looks, because everyone will just assume it's a gift so you can spend all the time you like browsing the boxers or whatever to find the ones that have the nicest fabric and nobody will be like "why are you in the men's underwear section"

#i have been wearing mens clothes for years but underwear was a sticking point #because i wanted to test all the fabrics and stuff to make sure it was soft #but people give you weird looks for staring too long at clothing they think you're the wrong gender for #gender fuckery #realistically most people do not care but anxiety doesn't know that #so it's good to have the mental shield of They'll Think I'm Buying Gifts to keep the anxiety awsy #whether or not it's rational in the first place

The fabrics of Marryat's world

One of the things that stands out to me, as a twenty-first century reader of Captain Marryat, are his many references to specific textiles and fabrics. Part of that could be from his reputation as a man of fashion; but I suspect that it's mostly a reflection of the world he inhabited, full of bespoke clothing and aware of its value. (As Frank Mildmay said, "A tailor's bill you may avoid by crossing the channel; but the duns of conscience follow you to the antipodes, and will be satisfied.")

A hated assistant teacher in Jacob Faithful is identified by his coat of shalloon:

I have little further to say of Mr. Knapps, except that he wore a black shalloon loose coat; on the left sleeve of which he wiped his pen, and upon the right, but too often, his ever-snivelling nose.

The materials glossary in Handbook of English Costume in the 19th Century by C. Willett and Phillis Cunnington defines shalloon as, "A loosely woven worsted stuff, twilled on both sides."

In Poor Jack, the title character's mother is an ambitious businesswoman, who dresses her daughter to the best of her abilities and neglects her son. One character comments on this:

Does your mother make plenty of money by clear-starching? I know your sister had a spotted muslin frock on last Sunday, and that must have cost something. [...] Your mother dresses your sister in spotted muslin, and leaves you in rags

A spotted muslin dress for a child in the Victoria & Albert Museum collection, made c. 1800-1805.

This extant dress is embroidered with tambour work, noted as a pastime of well-bred young ladies in Japhet in Search of a Father ("Cecilia, my dear, show your tambour work to Mr. Newland, and ask him his opinion. Is it not beautiful, Mr. Newland?")

In Marryat’s world, textiles are named: kerseymere breeches, cambric handkerchiefs, cotton-net pantaloons. The cotton-net pantaloons are specifically mentioned in three of Marryat's novels: Peter Simple, Japhet in Search of a Father, and Poor Jack.

Names for textiles have changed over time, and I wonder if what Marryat calls "cotton-net" is synonymous with stockinette? ("[Pantaloons] were usually of stockinette or semi-elastic material," says Handbook of English Costume in the 19th Century). As much as Regency gentlemen wore some very suggestive clothing, I don't think they wore pants of sheer netting.

Still, one character in Poor Jack is showing off a lot of pantaloons in his (unfortunately) body-conscious choice of fabric:

Mr. Cobb was remarkable in his dress. Having sprung up to the height of at least six feet in his stockings, he had become remarkably thin and spare; and the first idea that struck you when you saw him was, that he was all pantaloons—for he wore blue cotton net tight pantaloons; and his Hessian boots were so low, and his waistcoat so short, that there was at least four feet, out of the sum total of six, composed of blue cotton net, which fitted very close to a very spare figure.

"Pentalon à la hussarde" in the collection of the Paris Musées (and on a more ideal figure).
