Fabric Sample Guide

£19.99

Struggle to identify fabrics when buying online? Have something tangible for reference at home when working out what fabric to use for your project, and purchasing what you need, with our handy fabric sample booklet.

This guide features 40 samples of our most common types of fabrics, to give you a good idea what they look and feel like. Samples are glued in only along the top edge so you'll be able to see what different weights feel like between your fingers. Ideal for when you can't get to your fabric shop!

As the samples are semi-loose, they may move around and fold up on themselves a little, but this is handy to know how different fibre contents behave and what to consider when choosing your fabric, ie. is it going to crease a lot when worn.

We also feature a short guide in the front about how to choose a fabric, talking you through important elements like weight, stretch, type and widths. For each fabric, we also suggest what it can be used for and the needle type you'll need to sew it.

  • Great for beginners
  • Includes 40 samples of common fabrics
  • Recommends a needle type for each fabric
  • Learn about different fabric types, weights and fibres
  • Designed by us!

The booklet was exactly what I was after. I am an advanced beginner and my daughter is wanting to learn to sew too, so this is a great guide to touch and feel the types of fabric. Very helpful
