Triple crepe is a heavy weight polyester crepe fabric with a textured appearance and a slight give, which gives the fabric a beautiful drape.
This fabric is perfect for dresses, skirts, trousers, and jackets, particularly those suitable for the winter months due to its weight.
Due to its weight, it may require more experienced sewing skills, but with the right techniques, it can be managed by intermediate sewists.
Machine wash on a gentle cycle, tumble dry low or hang to dry. Iron on a low setting, using a pressing cloth.
Use a universal needle size 80/12 or 90/14.
While the fabric is beautiful and easy to work with once familiar, beginners might find it easier to start with lighter-weight fabrics before moving to triple crepe.
Use a walking foot or tissue paper under the fabric to aid in feeding through the machine. Use pins to prevent the fabric from shifting.
Adjust the tension of your sewing machine. Consider using a slightly longer stitch length for heavier fabrics.
Finish the raw edges with a serger or zigzag stitch to prevent fraying.
