We offer many different substrates (types) of fabrics in our shop and are frequently adding more.  Although there is not one set rule for which type of fabric to use, we hope this will help you make your decision!
 
Here are our most common substrates:

POPLIN
Poplin is our most standard quilter's weight fabric. It is used for quilts, skirts, button-up shirts, pillow cases, sturdier tops, cloth diapers, rompers, and more. Most projects use poplin. It's a great fabric to start with.

BROADCLOTH
This substrate a little heavier and thicker than poplin--appropriate for quilting and apparel. It is great for projects that will be washed a lot.

CANVAS
Canvas is a thick and durable woven material.  It is great for backpacks, shoes, upholstery, caps, tents, banners, handbags, and even as a painting medium.

VOILE
Voile is a lightweight cotton fabric. If you hold it up to the light, you will find that it is semi-sheer. Voile is a great option for women's blouses, light summer dresses, and rompers to name a few things.

BATISTE
Batiste is lighter than voile and has a softer hand.  It is great for infinity scarves, handkerchiefs, and lingerie.

DOUBLE GAUZE
Double Gauze is a light fabric consisting of two layers of gauze fabric.  It is very soft and wonderful for baby products, tops, skirts, blankets and so much more!

BARKCLOTH
Barkcloth is a heavier substrate that is a woven fabric that is great for home decor and furnishing.  It makes for beautiful drapes, couch pillows, and more!

INTERLOCK KNIT
Knits are stretchy.  All of our knits are medium weight interlock knits and can be used for dresses, leggings, shirts, tops, robes, bras, diapers, blankets, and even bags!  

FLANNEL
Flannel is soft and brushed to have a slight fuzziness that brings warmth and comfort.  This is a great material for lounge pants, bedding, blankets, burp cloths and more.
