The choice of fa b ric is another
Im p o rta n t point fo r the beginner to
bear in m ind. The type of construc­
tion, ra th e r than the kind of fib e r,
determ ines the easy handling of a
fabric.
Spun rayons and cottons are good
choices fo r the beginner. However,
she does not have to feel the dresses
w ill not look professional ju s t be­
cause she is sewing on s im p ly con­
structed fa b rics. I f the g a rm e n t is
well finished, it w ill look a ttra c tiv e ,
and no one need know it was her
firs t pro je ct.
A fa b ric th a t feels firm and has
ve ry little lengthwise stretch w ill be
easy to cut and sew. Check the
fa b ric where the yardage was cut
and see how it frays.
I f i t has
raveled much, do n 't pick it as a firs t
project, because y o u 'll get too ta n ­
gled in thread.
Sheer fa b rics are a problem to the
inexperienced because they p u ll and
slip easily. The stitch in g , too, m ust
be w e ll finished so that no ra w
edges show through the fa b ric. F a b ­
