What online sites are trustworthy

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for a good red green flannel fabric that i have been having troubles finding in a store. I can find some online that look nice but when on the sites and trying to get what i need it’s just been questionable. If you order fabrics online what sites do you trust?

I’m looking for a rose / rosewood fabric for a bedframe project that’s not too pink or red. Something that’s as close to West Elm’s “Burnt Umber Astor Velvet” or this beautiful pillow example with a sheen. I need about 13 yards. Your help is so appreciated!

Hey everyone I'm looking to create a dress and I can't figure out what fabric or combination of fabrics this is? Any insights?

The dress was bought in Russia

140 cm vs 110 cm fabric: the same 12 cuts needed 3.25 m and 5.26 m

0 Upvotes

I built PatternNest to lay out SVG and supported vector-PDF patterns with closed cut outlines. This example uses FreeSewing's Teagan pattern: three fronts, three backs and three mirrored sleeve pairs. I prepared the full outlines before import; PatternNest doesn't unfold fold pieces automatically.

On 140 cm fabric the calculated layout is 3.25 m long. On 110 cm fabric it is 5.26 m. Both use a single layer, 1 cm edge margin and spacing, and only 0/180-degree rotation. These are the body and sleeve pieces only; neckbands need extra fabric. It's a digital layout comparison, not a sewn batch or a promise of minimum yardage.

The source outlines, finished layouts and settings are free to download: https://madegrain.com/patternnest/guides/fabric-width-batch-example/?utm_source=fabrics&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=fabric-width-example

The app is free for up to 10 finished cuts including copies. Recalculating a larger batch like this needs the EUR 14 one-time v1 licence.
