Fabric types: Poplin, jersey and canvas.
All the fabrics have a cotton base: a material we have chosen because it is a 100% natural fibre and because of the interesting properties and possibilities it presents for dress making. Furthermore, it is cool, easy to work with, breathable and has a soft handle.
Within the range of cotton fabrics, depending on the way in which the lengths of yarn are crossed over each other during production, it is possible to create fabrics with more or less body.
In our first collection you’ll find poplin, jersey and canvas.
The poplin is 100% cotton and weighs 130 g/m2. This is a fine fabric with a soft agreeable handle and you can use it to sew a multitude of items like blouses, dresses and accessories.
The jersey is 95% cotton & 5% elastane and weighs 210gr/m2. Thanks to the 5 % elastane content the jersey is the typical kind of fabric we are accustomed to for t.shirts. We have two kinds of jersey; normal and melange. The second type has a mottled appearance and tact.
Both types are equally soft and very appropriate for comfortable sports garments and accessories.
The canvas is 100% cotton and weighs 215 g/m2. In this case the strands of yarn are woven in a particular way to form a stable fabric with a lot of body. The canvas is suitable for home projects and accessories like bags.
12 Fabric and Sewing Pattern Universes
Each one of the Universes is totally different to the previous one. For example, Summer camp one of our favourites, is a sweet cheerful spring time look. Comprising of four poplin fabrics with original designs like the puzzle cushion.
Arty is a casual carefree look more appropriate for adults. There are 3 poplin fabrics and one jersey fabric which adds a contemporary feminine touch.
Rock is fun and daring. Four soft jersey fabrics and comfortable patterns suitable for everyday wear.
The Sea world Universe is made up of two poplins and two jerseys in sea inspired prints.
We propose designs as beautiful as these.
And what do you think about the Canvas? This is a heavier weight 100% cotton fabric which is ideal for bags and accessories due to its substantial form and thickness. It comes with unusual patterns like the pet bed or a pet carrier.
