FABRIC –

The sewing projects in this book will require additional fabrics for linings, channels, ties, and other details. When selecting fabrics, choose carefully to complement the exterior fabric. Combining different fabric types together in a project works well to enhance the tactile element of a finished item with textural contrast. Fabric types to consider include yarn-dyed linen (or yarn-dyed metallic linen), needlecord (a finely ribbed corduroy), lawn, quilting cotton, canvas, chambray, and flannel.

THREAD

Use a good quality 100% cotton thread for best results. I use a multipurpose Aurifil 50-weight thread and the thicker 28-weight thread for all my sewing projects. The 28-weight thread has a beautiful finish when used for top-stitching, as it allows the stitches to stand out a little more. My most-used thread color is a pale pink, which works nicely with many different fabric colors. Think of it as a pretty neutral.

INTERFACING –

The projects are interfaced with woven fusible interfacing, fusible fleece, or batting. These will provide structure and body to the sewn item.

•I use either Pellon SF101 Shape-Flex (20˝ wide) or Vilene G 700 (35˝ wide) for woven interfacing. Note the different widths—interfacing yardage requirements in this book are all based on 20˝ width.

•I use a low-loft fusible fleece, either Pellon 987F (45˝ wide) or Vilene H 630 (35˝ wide). Fusible fleece yardage requirements in this book are based on 45˝ width. Use a pressing cloth when pressing fusible fleece to prevent it from sticking to your iron.

•For batting, I use Quilters Dream Cotton in Request or Select weight. (Scraps left over from quilt projects will work nicely.)
