Location: Cross and Crown Lutheran Church, 5475 Snyder Lane, Rohnert Park.
Did you know that if you sew jeans with both the front and back of the fabric cut in the same direction your pant legs will likely twist? This is because denim has a twill weave. Come to this presentation to learn about textile weaves and finishes and how they affect your garments. Lyra will show samples of many of the textiles she talks about during the presentation.
This is the latest installment in our series on textiles. In past presentations, Lyra taught us about current and historical wovens, knits, mesh, felting, various fibers, fiber weights and thickness. All of these are considerations when choosing a garment fabric. As we move to buying fabric online, a thorough knowledge of textiles is key to successful purchasing.
Visitors and guests welcome!
