How To Make A Fabric Swatch Book
"Picture it, you look on the back of a pattern envelope and see all kinds of fabric names and you have no idea what any of them mean. What you need is swatches! Swatches are a great tool for sewists who want to learn about fabric. Swatches can teach you so much about how a fabric behaves, how it drapes, most importantly how it feels, and how heavy it is.
