stitchu / fabric by shape / Fabric for fluid, drapey shapes
Fabric for fluid, drapey shapes: a light, fluid woven that pours.
The fall of the cloth IS the design here; a crisp poplin would stand out in a stiff bell instead of flowing close to the body.
| families | viscose or rayon, crepe, cotton lawn |
| ask for | light weight, fluid, drapes |
| trade-off | Fluid cloth shifts while you cut and sew, so cut single layer and use a walking foot. |
