Читать книгу May Martin’s Sewing Bible: 40 years of tips and tricks - May Martin - Страница 22

For my craft projects you’ll see I’ve mostly used cotton, for its weight and texture as well as its wide colour range, but you can use any fabric you like, within reason, as long as you sew together fabrics of a similar weight where more than one is needed. Cotton is also ideal for making curtains, blinds or other home furnishings, especially if you’re just starting out. My students buy whatever catches their eye and whatever they think will best fit their overall colour scheme. The main thing to bear in mind is pattern matching, which I explain in detail in the section on making curtains.
