Stretch Fabric: How To Sew It, How To Wear It, And How To Use It
Elasticity in fabrics has
got to be one of the greatest inventions of all time. After all, it resulted in
leggings and comfortable, fitted clothes in general. But there are many uses
for stretch fabric that don't involved personal attire, including stretch
fabric ceilings, mats, and upholstering.
How to sew stretch fabric:
Cut the pattern pieces in
the same direction. Fabric tends to stretch more from side to side than it does
top to bottom, so keep that in mind when you're cutting. The fabric's right sides
should be placed together. The right side will be obvious for materials like
velvet, but less so for others. If the distinction seems impossible to make,
then it probably doesn't matter, so don't worry about it. Pin the pieces of fabric
together so they are still and don't stretch in any way.
How to wear it:
All women, in fact all
people, are incredibly grateful for the give that they have in their clothes.
That give comes from elasticity, which is the main component of stretch fabric
clothes. Body suits, leggings, and tights are all made of very stretchy fabricseal which is why they hug our
bodies and are extremely comfortable to wear. The fabric is thin and therefore
doesn't dig into waists or suffocate our bodies.
Those items of clothing
that are made of cotton but have stretch in them are also a gift. Not only are
they more comfortable but tend to be very flattering as well. By having give
they fit our bodies natural shape, which for curvy women, is ideal.
