KNIT FABRICS - black, grey, and striped





Black CL Jersey

90% cotton, 10% lycra, 60" wide. Very soft and stretchy jersey that sews up nicely into tee shirts, wrap tops, cowl tops, etc. I keep my black knits very black by hand washing in Eucalan Lavender. They last forever if washed carefully. No dryer, which causes greying of the fabric.
Price: $11metre



BLACK COTTON and LINEN FABRICS





Black Cotton Eyelet

100% cotton, 60" wide. Shirt weight cotton eyelet in jet black, with glossy threads for the eyelet embroidery. Perfect for a crisp blouse or dress.
Suggested pattern is Vogue 7903 blouse by Sandra Betzina

Price: $11/metre



WOOLS and WOOL BLENDS





Black Wool Satin
70% wool, 30% acetate, 56" wide. This fabric has two sides, one is a woven fine wool, the other is a satin with sheen. Take advantage of both sides in a pattern by reversing the fabric on accent pieces such as the collar and lapels. I see Tuxedo Jacket written all over this fabric. Also a dress with piecing that could show off both sides of the fabric. This can be seen in a dress pattern like Vogue 1014 or a jacket like this one Vogue 8204 - by Sandra Betzina

Stretch Wool Plaid Grey

Price: $14/metre



DRESS FABRICS - polyesters, silks, rayons, sheers





Black Stretch Velvet

90% polyester, 10% lycra, 60" wide. Stretch velvet with a slightly crushed texture. This reminds me of vintage garments and a little unlined jacket in this would be great for tossing over a dress or blouse. It would also make very nice elastic waist pants. Machine wash and dry on cool. Suggested pattern is Florence Jacket from Textile Studio Patterns
