Fabric Swatch & Textile Guide

Here's something important: your design is only as good as the fabric you choose.

You can sketch the most amazing garment, but if you pick a fabric that doesn't drape right, stretch enough, or hold its shape, your vision won't work out the way you hoped. That's why understanding textiles is one of the most helpful skills you can develop as a designer.

This swatch guide gives you a hands-on way to explore different fabrics: cotton, silk, denim, jersey, and more. You'll learn what makes each one special, how they behave when you cut and sew them, and which projects they work best for.

Think of it as your fabric reference library. When you're planning a project and wondering "should I use this or that?" you'll have the answer right in front of you. Plus, being able to talk about fabric choices shows you really understand your craft.

Whether you're just starting to sew or already designing full collections, this guide helps you make smarter, more informed choices.
