    Picking fabrics for your fashion collection is a delicate balance between creative exploration and business logistics. In this video, I go over plenty of points about both, divided into 3 sections: questions to ask yourself before you shop for fabrics, while your shopping, and after you've chosen your fabrics.

      Can you please make a video on how to choose the right CMT and also, how to choose a Pattern Maker. In my town, not we dont have many places that can do both, nevermind just help guide a new designer to get the first collection done and online. Please help!!! PS _ i did watch the kathleen one, it is great!

    Oh yes! You threw a lot of good information into my face. I have to admit that I feel a bit overwhelmed about the fabrics' subject, but as you always say: it's our media, I do have to go and immerse myself in the subject, I am sure that as I get more familiar with it I will enjoy it more and more. Thanks for share so generously your knowledges and to motivate by transmitting your respect and passion for fashion.

    Wow, again Zoe Hong thank you so very much for making these great videos with very relatable facts to the Fashion Industry! On one hand you encourage us to be creative while on the other hand you make sure we keep in mind the true facts that we will need in order to be able to make it in the real world of clothing. Like you mentioned as well as the guest you had as a Costume Designer in a previous video, its so important to know fabrics because in the end its what makes it or breaks it. So fortunate to live in times when we all have access to great information like your channel!

    I used to do this when I was a student. however when working in a large convection factory, it is better to use a straight body design, and clarify cuts and creases in the design so that pattern makers and tailors can translate it more easily

    Keep up the awesome work. We share the same level of excitement when picking fabrics.

    • @zoehongteaches
      @zoehongteaches  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, that's a matter of personal preference and usage. My only advice is to pick something that doesn't fray easily, like leather. Unless you want a frayed look. See, even that is about preference.

      I'm also looking for a smooth, soft to the skin, black, non frayable, fabric, something which can be good for knots too. Any advice would be grand :)
