This medium-weight material offers a perfect balance of structure and drape, making it suitable for everything from trousers and skirts to structured jackets and dresses.

Deadstock fabric consists of high-quality leftover textiles from mills or fashion houses that would otherwise go to waste.
It is recommended to air dry this fabric to maintain the integrity of the stretch and the smooth finish.
Yes, its medium weight makes it easy to handle and press, which is helpful for those learning to tailor garments.
Like most wovens, it will fray at the edges, so it is best to finish your seams with a serger or zig-zag stitch.
Use a light-to-medium weight fusible interfacing that complements the stretch properties of the fabric.
Switch to a new needle, preferably a stretch or ballpoint needle, to better accommodate the weave.
Adjust your machine's thread tension and ensure you are using a slightly longer stitch length (2.5mm to 3.0mm).
Before sewing, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric using your intended laundry method (30C cycle) to account for any potential minor shrinkage.
