Did you know fiber content and fabric construction are actually two different things? Most beginner sewists treat them like the same concept — but understanding both will completely change how you shop for fabric, care for your projects, and troubleshoot sewing problems.
In this video, I'm breaking down:
* What fiber content actually means (and why cotton isn't always cotton)
* What fabric construction tells you about how your fabric behaves
* How these two things work together — and why confusing them leads to frustrating results at the cutting table and the machine
Whether you're brand new to sewing or you've been at it a while and just never had someone explain it clearly, this one's for you.

🧵 Ready to learn to sew? I teach beginner and intermediate classes across North County San Diego — and I bring all the machines and materials, so you just show up!

It’s and I’m wearing something I made years ago! The shirt with a neckline I modified into a square.

✂️ The original neckline is lovely, but I wanted something a little more structured, so I drafted the change myself. So happy with how it turned out!

The fabric is Heirloom Canvas Linen from it presses beautifully, has just the right amount of body, and honestly makes the whole garment. If you haven’t sewn with it yet, add it to your list.

Love making clothes that actually fit *your* vision? I teach beginner and intermediate sewing classes in the area — link in bio to see upcoming classes and book your spot! 🧵

Moneca from .fabrics was kind enough to share a huge scrap stash from fabric vendors and this is the final product.
