Medium-weight fabric offers a balance between lightness and substance. They are often opaque, but lighter colors may be somewhat translucent depending on the weave. Typically, medium-weight fabric holds its shape without being overly rigid, providing a versatile base for various garment styles.
Note: We have assessed each fabric's weight to the best of our ability, acknowledging that weight alone doesn't always dictate how a fabric will behave. A heavily beaded tulle, for example, may be surprisingly heavy on the scale yet drape and function as a lightweight fabric in a garment. If you would like a more precise weight measurement, we are happy to provide GSM (grams per square meter) upon request, by emailing us at info@fabrics-fabrics.com.
Minimal fabric drape is characterized by a stiff, structured quality that holds its shape, falls away from the body with little to no clinging, and may not hold gathers well. This type of drape works well for structured and tailored garments.
Note: While fabric weight and drape are often related, many factors influence drape. Lightweight fabrics can be stiff and heavy fabrics can drape beautifully. We've categorized fabrics based on their typical properties, but these are just guidelines.
Semi-opaque fabric allows some light to pass through, blurring the details of anything beneath it and often requiring a lining, especially for lighter colors or backlit conditions, to achieve full opacity.
Beginner fabrics are typically stable, forgiving, and easy to handle. They press well, don’t fray easily, and sew smoothly without much shifting or stretching. They are generally opaque and have a tight weave, making them easy to cut and sew accurately. No special tools are needed with beginner fabrics.
Please note: While we have categorized fabrics based on suggested skill levels, it's important to remember that this is just a guideline. The best way to determine if a fabric is suitable for your skill level is to research its properties and consider your previous sewing experience.
