Wardrobe By Me - How to Choose Fabric
Christine gives you some handy hints and tips for choosing the perfect fabric for your next project.
Christine chose our Heather Grey and White Stripe Cotton Jersey Blend Knit Fabric as she wanted a fabric which was lighter weight. As you can see from the picture left, the finished top looks great.
"Just because a fabric is lightweight, doesn't mean it is low quality. Lightweight fabrics are perfect for summer tops or when you want a nice fluid drape or flow. They are also great for layering".
