I'm Sari and I'm Haley and this is Seamwork Radio.

Welcome back to Seamwork Radio where we share practical ideas for building a creative process so you can sew with intention and joy.

And today we're talking about how to approach fabric shopping with a clear intention.

So we're going to cover how to avoid feeling overwhelmed and instead focus on selecting fabrics that

you know you'll sew. All right. So for our icebreaker today, Haley, what fabric do you think

is one, highly underrated and two highly overrated.

Ooh. I like this one. Underrated? I'm going to go with like a wool jersey or a merino jersey.

Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. And you just don't, maybe it's not as much underrated as like uncommon. But I just

feel like it doesn't, it doesn't get its flowers. Yeah. I want to see people like loving it the way

it deserves to be loved. Yeah. I almost bought some marino jersey for the Greer dress because I'm

making a career dress. I ended up with going with the Greer dress because I'm making a

Greer dress.

I ended up with going with a different wool knit that I'm hoping is not itchy when I get it

because it was a color that I wanted, but I think you're right,

Marino is just so lovely.

Yeah, it's a good one.

I think for overrated, I'm also going to go, I'm going to stay in the Nets category to be fair.

I would say any kind of like tissue type knit or really lightweight like rayon jerseys.

I think they have their place and there's good ones out there.

But I think that there's more bad ones than there are good ones.

And it does not stand the test of time super well.

I always, if I'm getting something that's draper in the net category, I try and go for something that's like a little bit heftier.
