Awesome introduction to the different types of fabric and common uses for them. I learned a ton and now have almost too many ideas about what I want to purchase and make next.

I suppose I was vaguely aware there was a wide variety of fabrics and fibers but this opened my eyes to a whole new world. After a lifetime of struggling to find clothing that fits my body, i'm excited to start looking at making my own and being more knowledgeable about the fabrics I will be using.
