My favorite fabric to sew with is 100% cotton because of its versatility. I have use it to sew children’s clothing, adult summer blouses, dresses and jackets plus matching purses and/or tote bags.
Home decor is another use for cotton when making curtains, pillow covers, baby quilts or rag quilts for children, book covers, embroidered wall hangings, table runners, lap quilts and full sized bed quilts.
Another reason it is my favorite fabric is the never-ending color and pattern selection that is available.

I love working with the stash of cotton fabrics I have that were once my grandmother’s and mother’s. Each time I use one of these vintage fabrics, so many fond memories return as I can still see the big quilting frame set up in grandma’s living room and the ladies gathered around stitiching. And each project completed with these fabrics are filled with such precious memories.

I don’t often sew with the fancy fabrics—silk, cashmere, etc. I go for the practical. I love making baby PJ’s with stretch terry. I adapted my pattern for zippers instead of gripper snaps. Makes changing a baby so quick and easy.

My favorite fabric to sew with is still good quality cotton or other reasonably stable fabrics. I sew on my 1972 Sears Kenmore machine and it still works like a champ. It has stretch, darning, smocking look, and edge finishing stitches; a monogrammer; a super buttonholer; and design cams so fills the bill for many fabrics. I got a good quality walking or roller foot for knits for Christmas from my daughter that should help considerably with really stretchy fabrics and I’m looking forward to trying it out soon!

…lycra with spandex. I’ve been sewing swimwear since the 70’s, first for myself, then for a top synchronized swim team, and now for dolls. Every doll my non-profit donates to children facing long-term hospitalization includes a swim ensemble: swimsuit, cover-up, beach bag, beach towel, visor and flip-flops.

Although I love good cotton fabric, my favorite fabric to sew with is quality woolens. I was a 4-H member for years as a young person, and each year they had a “Make It With Wool” contest which I loved. I think it was sponsored by local sheep growers. Wool drapes beautifully, doesn’t fray much, needles well and looks amazing when properly pressed. Sadly, it’s getting harder to find.

My favourite fabric for sewing is quilter cotton (batik) . I love putting together different colourways of the same colour. One shade for the sleeve, one colourway for the skirt and the third colourway for the trim or any variation of that. I can also do colourblock with the variety of colourways before cutting the pieces to sew together.

An advantage of having a huge variety of fabrics similar but in different colourways, in 2020, was that I had the materials on hand to create wonderful masks when the pandemic hit last February and ediicts in our area strongly recommended mask wearing. Once I figured out that spandex was a reasonable alternative for elastic for masks, and coffee closers worked well for the wire at the top, I was off and running. Be safe, Be well, Be Careful, Be Kind

Cotton is the easiest to sew with a normal sewing machine but LOVE sewing with knits on my serger. There IS a huge difference in quality fabric – the way it feels, the way it irons and the way it wears. Always worth your time and effort to buy the best you can afford.
