Favorite fabric? Well, that’s a no brainer – I love me some knits, and I’m also a lover of wool.

I enjoy working with woven cotton fabrics, especially when I can find cotton fabric thicker than the average quilting cotton fabric. Wool is also a lot of fun to sew with, it is so versatile!

I love wool for most things, but cotton rules for quilts!!

I love sewing with Linen! <3 it!

Soft cottons have always been so forgiving. But with the leather setting on my machine, denim is becoming my new favorite fabric

I’d have to say woven cotton cause it doesnt shift about and is easy to sew in terms of thickness.

cotton or jersey—I am sort of a new learner still!

I love working with wool and silk.

I’d love to try my hand at working with wool.

So far I’ve mostly worked with woven cotton. Looking to branch out.

I love to work with knit fabrics

Wool – I love the way it transforms from a homemade look to handmade with a good steam iron!

What a dreamy giveaway! My gut is telling me to answer “cotton”. It comes in so many weights, it is crisp and can be soft or shiny, sheer or firm, sturdy, printed, striped… It’s a very sewing-friendly fabric and great for a variety of casual projects.

I’ve never even seen this magazine, now I have to go and find it.
Dec 2, 2011, 09.04 PMby sharonspils
It has to be wool, it can be cool for summer and warm for winter and is a dream to work with.
Dec 2, 2011, 08.48 PMby lokicat
Linen, I love the feel and the look of it.
Dec 2, 2011, 08.43 PMby euma
mmmmhhhh, I’m afraid I don’t have a favourite fabric, it depends on each project.
Dec 2, 2011, 08.42 PMby catran
Considering I’ve only worked with cotton…I’d have to say cotton. :)
Dec 2, 2011, 08.37 PMby taysha1128
cotton!!!
Dec 2, 2011, 08.32 PMby moorjenn
Right now, I am thoroughly enjoying soft wool tweeds. Substantial and warm, soft and luxurious, but so easy to sew and work with!
Dec 2, 2011, 08.32 PMby Nancy Gallagher
dupioni silk….no wait, lovely soft cotton jersey knit.
Dec 2, 2011, 08.18 PMby sexysealina
I would have to say knits. They are so flexible and user friendly.
Dec 2, 2011, 08.17 PMby kirstenrana
Cotton lawn – especially Liberty Tana – and rayon jersey for simple but gorgeous everyday dresses. But I collect silk of all kinds – lately silk ikats from Uzbekistan. They make stunning skirts.
Dec 2, 2011, 08.14 PMby raving
Rather dull but I like plain weave cottons. Also, anything that doesn’t fray.
Dec 2, 2011, 08.14 PMby hayleyroper
i actually really like working with corduroy. its so versatile
Dec 2, 2011, 08.09 PMby monstery
Hello. I love to use layers of lace!:)

Right now I’ve been working with a lot of cotton. Just seems like my go to fabric at the moment! 2012 I am looking to get into linen a little more.
Dec 2, 2011, 08.02 PMby Shannon Kramp
Tulle, I love making petticoats and tutus with it, plus it comes in so many colors.
Dec 2, 2011, 07.53 PMby jewels1974
Cotton Voile, so versatile, soft and floaty, but so easy to sew and iron.
Dec 2, 2011, 07.50 PMby emily-marie
