Fabrics are something I spend hours in the market choosing, the wrong choice of fabric would totally mess the style up. This tutorial is quite useful and provide good information. Thanks Kim

I totally agree! The wrong fabric can really ruin a project. But we learn from all those mistakes and make better choices in the future

Thank you Kim

[@toroabasiumoidem4452]

Thanks for the information dear. As a beginner I have purchased fabrics I don't even have styles for. 🤭 it will not happen again.

[@myralorraine]

Great tips! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@ReinaElizondo]

This is a useful topic! Are there any more tips you can recommend for if you already bought a problem fabric? (Like the print you mentioned changing the sleeve pattern. Did you drape it until it looked right?) Sometimes I notice things like fabrics fraying a lot more than I expected, or the color isn't quite right, or it drapes weird or stretches. Or it pills in the wash! Pilling is my new pet peeve!

[@robertahall1550]

[@boitumelomolise9404]

Wow this was so...informative thanks ma...i really enjoyed!

[@KimDave]

My pleasure 😊 Glad you enjoyed it

[@KIZAJ]

Style and silhouette... I just always mess up here. I use cotton for styles that require a Lycra fabric and this makes it so uncomfortable....

[@KimDave]

Honestly fabric and choosing the right fabrics for specific styles come with experience. Like you said, you realised you needed lycra for that style, so next time you want to create something similar you have an idea of what to use

[@KIZAJ]

Kim Dave exactly. With sewing we learn on the go

[@cabinfeverremedy5636]

ok, so at 8m31 I had to stop the video, google Andrea Iyamah and go thru her website. Now I'm back but I don't think I'm the same person anymore. So many talented people in the world.

[@bibikhan1080]

[@KimDave]

My dear, believe me. You will enjoy it for one or two years, and afterwards you'll want your summer back 😂 Take it from someone who grew up in a tropical country and now lives in a temperate country.
