Every so often, a fabric comes along that feels like it was designed to make any room come alive. Our Toronto Aqua Mid Century Jacquard Upholstery Fabric 54" is one of those pieces.

One of the joys of sewing is creating pieces that feel personal, whether it’s a custom pillow cover in the perfect print or a bedspread that actually fits your mattress. The question we hear most often is: How much fabric do I really need?  

If you take a peek inside your closet, chances are a good portion of your favorite pieces are made from knit fabric. But what exactly makes a fabric a “knit”? And why does it feel so different from a crisp woven cotton or linen? Let’s take a closer look. 

This year, fabric is all about feeling. At The Fabric Hoarder, we’ve been out finding (and yes, hoarding) the textiles that stop us in our tracks. The ones that beg to be touched and spark a little thrill the moment you imagine them as curtains, cushions, or the perfect dress.
