When I first began sewing I was mostly shopping for the least expensive fabric I could find. I did not really know much about quality. As time goes by and more experience is obtained then learning the quality and the names of the better fabric just comes easy. Sure, I still shop for the better deals but it is not the main thing anymore. I buy fabric that I personally would like also. I have favorites just like anyone else. Funny thing is that I do not sew for myself. I always sew for someone else. I do enjoy it and put a lot of care in each item that I sew. Rest assured that I will always do my best.
