Made By A Fabricista: Three Bengaline Basics – A Jacket, Skirt and Vest

By
Hello Sewing Friends! It’s Sharon from Sharon Sews excited to share my latest Fabricista makes with you.  When Fabric Mart offered an array of stretch bengaline suiting fabrics , I choose three different fabrics to sew myself a few basics to be worn as the season transitions from winter to spring. The bengaline fabric I used is a woven rayon/nylon/lycra blend fabric with the stretch running vertically (lengthwise on the fabric) instead of horizontally (selvage to selvage).  It lends itself well to fitted and structured garments, such as jackets, pants, skirts and dresses. Because of the vertical stretch, I folded the fabric cross grain to cut out my fabric pieces so the greatest stretch would go around my body.   I used a stretch needle size 75/11 due to the lycra in the fabric. I also eliminated the interfacing as I discovered this fabric did not like fusible interfacing and I did not have any sew-in interfacing on hand.   Now let’s talk about the garments...

Made By A Fabricista: FROM FABRIC TO FASHION: - The Saguaro Set with Fabric Mart Fabric

The fabric is light to medium weight and has beautiful drape.  The care instructions said gentle wash or hand wash.   I prewashed the fabric in cold water on the delicate cycle.  However, after drying it on the delicate cycle, the fabric had an almost vintage distressed look.   I was a bit co...

Made By A Fabricista: Do You Let the Fabric Choose the Project or the Project Choose the Fabric?

By
When you walk into a fabric store (or, let’s be real, scroll through an online shop), do you already have a project in mind, searching for the perfect fabric to bring your vision to life? Or do you let the fabric speak to you, inspiring a new idea on the spot? Personally, I tend to go both ways. Sometimes, I have a plan. Other times, a fabric stops me in my tracks, and I just know what it’s meant to become. That’s exactly what happened when I saw this stunning ombré fabric on Fabric Mart Fabrics. I didn’t have to think twice—I knew it had to be a dress, and I already had the perfect pattern in my stash: Viki Sews Crystal. I had saved inspiration photos featuring tie-dye and ombré fabrics, so the moment I saw this fabric, I knew it belonged in my collection. Below are some of my inspiration photos from Altuzarra. The Fabric Once I received the fabric, I fell even more in love. It has a moody elegance—subtle but striking, with a depth that perfectly reflects how I’ve been feeling lately...
