    Choose Quality over Cheap Fabrics

    March 20th, 2012

    When choosing a fabric it is very important that you make the right decision. Although Cheap Fabrics are great for the pocket, they don’t give you the same finish of higher quality fabrics. We have a selection of all sorts of materials for every budget, ranging from economy fabrics to Couture Fabrics which are a new addition to our range and are simply stunning and ooze class!

    Quality Fabrics will also last much longer and are so easy to work with. One of my personal favourites is our selection of Crepe. It is such a versatile fabric and is made with such superb quality. It can be made into a number of different designs such as dresses, tops and skirts and flows beautifully. It has a matte look about it and will drape so nicely! It is made from 100% Polyester and is 150 cm wide. We also have a Satin Back Crepe which is satin one side and crepe the other so you have the choice of your preferred side! Our selection of Chiffon matches up brilliantly with our selection of crepes so you can create some wonderful garments with added texture and flow!

    Another great quality fabric is our Viscose Jersey, which is suitable for more casual dressmaking, although could be used for dresses etc. It has a 4-way stretch to it and is very drapey, so will not only be comfortable to wear, it will also look great! The Viscose Jersey is 150 cm wide and is made from 100% viscose.

    If you require a sample of any of our fabrics so you can make sure you have made the right choice we will be happy to provide this service for you! We can also match up your dress linings, threads and zips too!

    Why Quality Fabrics are Better than Cheap Fabrics

    March 6th, 2012

    Here at Fabric-world we have a wide choice of all sorts of fabrics depending on your budget. Whether you are looking for economy fabrics or want something that is a bit special, we can cater for everyone! Although cheap fabrics are good value for money and are available in a range of different materials, they don’t seem to have the same overall effect as the more high quality fabrics. In our economy range, we have Economy Satin which is available in some really attractive bold colours and is great value for money. They are made from 100% polyester and are 150 cm wide so could be used for dressmaking such as evening and formal wear, or because of the great price, you could even use it as decoration, especially for big events such as weddings or parties!

    If you are looking for a fabric that oozes quality; Satin Back Crepe is a perfect choice. It is satin on one side and a lovely crepe on the other, which can be used on either side depending on your preference. Satin Back Crepe can be used for all sorts of garments and will really enhance your dressmaking designs! This fabric is 115cm wide and is made in Japan and matches up perfectly with our range of chiffon’s. We also have an Economy Satin Back Crepe too!

    Of course we have much more more in our range of Fabrics to suit all types of budgets and projects so why not come and have a look around at our website and see what fabrics are available to you!

    The Importance of Using High Quality Fabrics over Cheap Fabrics

    May 30th, 2011

    Here at Fabric-World, we are experienced in knowing how important it is to use good quality Dressmaking Fabrics within your projects. Cheap Fabrics quite simply don’t last as well as fabrics of a higher quality. All of the Fabrics that we stock here at Fabric-World are of the best quality, yet we can offer fantastic prices. Cheap prices dont’ necessarily mean Cheap Fabrics!

    Here are some of the Dressmaking Fabrics that you can use when working under a budget, without having to sacrifice quality:

    • Economy Satin – This fabric is ideal as a replacement for Cheap Fabrics, and is easy to work with, meaning that it can be perfect for many of your Dressmaking proects such as formal garments and bridal wear.
    • Chiffon – This is the highest quality polyester Chiffon, and is perfect for layering with other Dressmaking Fabrics. Cheap Fabrics such as other Chiffons that are manufactured simply do not produce the required results when made into garments, resulting in poorer quality clothing.
    • Poplin – This is a very popular Dressmaking Fabric that is far from being a Cheap Fabric! It is a popular choice for many garments including men’s and women’s shirts that require a lighter fabric without it being a Cheap Fabric.

    Using Cheap Fabrics can often become a more expensive option in the long run, through having to replace more often and costing more in labour to create new garments.

    I hope you have enjoyed todays blog and that it has show you some ideas for using our higher quality fabrics instead of Cheap Fabrics. If you have any thoughts or ideas you would like to share with us, please feel free to leave them in the box below…and don’t forget to follow us on our Facebook and Twitter pages for all the latest news!
