Plaid Fabrics
Plaid Fabrics
simplicity pattern question dealing with fabrics?
on the back, where it lists the "Fabrics:", do you need to buy ALL of the fabrics? On the particular one I'm looking at, it says:
"Fabrics: Denim, Corduroy, Poplin, Seersucker, Twill, Sateen, Lightweight Wool and Wool Blends, Linen and Linen Blends, Extra Fabric needed to match plaids, stripes or one-way design fabrics."
I plan to make some denim shorts. The pattern is Simplicity 3850. I posted another question about this exact pattern if you can look at that to see the link to the pattern preview picture. Very appreciated 
. Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!
No, the list of suggested fabrics are those that will work well with the pattern. If you want denim shorts, and the list includes denim, buy the length specified for the size.
Why this is important: Patterns are intended for a particular fabric, or a fabric that drapes like a particular fabric. If you were to make up the same pattern in three different fabrics -- let's say a stiff fabric like Levis 501s typically come in, a medium weight fabric like a lightweight cotton twill and a very drapey fabric, like a lightweight t-shirt knit, and the pattern is intended for medium drape fabric, the Levi 501 fabric will look like clown pants, and the t-shirt knit ones will look skimpy, like you bought 'em at worse than Walmart. When you're ready to pick your own fabrics, look for a fabric that drapes like one of the fabrics specified on the pattern.
Fabrics come in various widths, and the yardage charts typically give you yardage for 45" and 60" wide fabric. At least as a beginner, don't try to skimp when buying fabric... better a little too much than too little. If the fabric you're looking at is in some odd width like 52", ask the help of someone who has sewn for awhile to help you choose the amount to buy. If you can't find someone who really knows (and a lot of chain fabric stores don't have anyone working there who sews!) then buy the amount specified for the next narrower width... so in the case of 52" wide denim, buy the yardage specified for 45", not 60".

This season, we can see a lot of technology-related topics presented. We trust in science. This is about our hope lies, as well as the demand of modern science.
