The best fabric for this?

So I just started sewing (yay!) and want to make a couple (bunches) elastic-waist skirts. I'm getting fabric this weekend, and am wondering what the best kind to get is? Any advice?

Re: The best fabric for this?

  • It depends on the look you're going for.  Are you ordering online or going to a store?  If you're buying in a store, I'd man handle the fabric and if you like the way it gathers/bunches.  Also, you can scrunch up a handful for a few seconds and then release to see how wrinkled it gets - if you're worried about wrinkles.
  • If your new to sewing, I would stick with a light weight cotton.  Stay away from anything that streches or is sheer.  Get the feel for sewing first.

    Best wishes Big Smile
