Cosplay 101: Fabric Basics || MangoSirene

If you're new to sewing, walking into your local hobby store to choose fabric for your next costume can be totally overwhelming! So in this episode of Cosplay 101, we're talking fabric basics to make your hunt for the perfect cosplay materials a bit less stressful. Tune in to learn about natural vs. synthetic fibers, weaves vs. knits, some of the most popular fabrics to use for cosplay, and how to choose what fabric to use for your next project!

There's a lot of info in this video that I pulled from the Garment Construction class I took in college, but if you'd like more reading, I recommend picking up a copy of the New Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Sewing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1606... (Which is truly a vital resource that every cosplayer should have on hand!)
