From Fibre to Finished Garment. Understanding how fabric is created and how fibre and weave affect the look, drape, and performance, is an essential skill for every dressmaker and home sewist. The combination of fibre, yarn, and construction dictates not only the appearance of a fabric but also its suitability for a specific design. By mastering these elements, you can eliminate the disappointment of choosing the wrong material and ensure your handmade garments turn out perfectly every time. In this comprehensive workshop, you will explore: where fibres come from and the processes used to transform them into yarns, including an overview of their environmental impact. The four major weave types and how their construction influences the aesthetics and "hand" of the finished cloth. Understand how knits are constructed and how they perform differently than woven fabrics. Alternative Constructions: an introduction to other specialised fabric manufacturing. All materials and full instructions will be provided in your workshop kit
