It's so interesting that so many people like wool! I've never sewn with it... but I'm considering a wool dress for work for this winter. I've been on a jersey kick lately, but I tend to be a sucker for rayon challis too... I just hate how it unravels so easily! Thanks for the food for thought question.

They can be, yes. I wait until they go on sale at the end of winter and buy them then. Usually get them for half price that way, otherwise they are far too pricey!

Seersucker is the best ever--except for its tendency to curl up at the edges and resist ironing (or is that just me?). Especially the striped kind; it's so easy to space things when you've got those nice narrow guidelines, plus it looks really cheerful for summer.

I'm a sucker for quilting cotton. The colours and the prints are just so much fun! I also like merino wool knits - so warm and snuggly and lightweight so very easy to manipulate.

Hi Stevie, hope you are doing well and congrats on your move. The new place looks awesome.<br />
<br />
I love anything with wool in it, my sewing machine purrs with wool. But visually I love seersucker, its just happy, clean and classic. Linen is pretty wonderful too. Working with a linen viscose blend was amazing. The viscose added weight for a little drapiness and keeps the Linen from heavy wrinkles.

<p>During the summer, I get stuck on linen and rayon (challis particularly). In the spring and fall, I play with cottons too. I've done one wool vest for winter and one lightweight silk charmeuse tunic and want to work more with both fabrics.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My problem is it is faster to buy and plan than to actually sew. LOL</p>
