Abstract:
The essential guide for every sewer just got better! All New Fabric Savvy is updated to include detailed information on 107 different fabrics; must-know information on determining fabric content, working with knits, working with different types of interfacing, removing stains, and choosing lining material; recommended tools and notions; illustrated reference sections on seams, details, closures, and hems; 476 photographs and 110 illustrations. Organized alphabetically, the 107 fabrics include old favorites--like cotton, wool, knits, and silks--to new options, some of which you might never have heard of or sewn with--synthetics; those that resist water, sun, stains, and wrinkles; those made from animal hides (and, of course, their faux cousins); those regenerated from wood pulp; and many more.

Take the guesswork out of choosing the best fabric for any sewing project! Betzina has collected detailed information on 107 different fabrics. She'll give you tips on determining fabric content, working with knits, working with different types of interfacing, removing stains, and much more. Whether you're interested in working with fabrics regenerated from wood pulp, or just want to know the difference between noil silk, organza silk, and shantung silk, Betzina will take the guesswork out of any project..
