Understanding Fabrics & How to Choose the Right Fabric for Your Project!

Unlock the secrets of textiles! Learn to pick the perfect fabric for any project at Mood Fabrics Ponce City Market.
About this Event

Fabric choice is the single most impactful decision you make in any sewing, costume, or fashion project. Before you cut a single piece or thread your machine, the fabric you select determines how your garment drapes, how it photographs, how comfortable it feels after hours of wear, and ultimately—if you’ll want to wear it again!

Join us at the Mood Fabrics Showroom in Ponce City Market for an insightful class lecture designed to take the guesswork out of textile selection. You will walk away with a practical framework you can use every time you shop in-store or online.

• Historical Context: Gain a foundational appreciation for textile history and how fabrics behave.
