Let's introduce the fabrics for sewing EASY pants
EASY pants are a versatile pattern that will offer your children comfort and protection during various activities. For your project to be a success, it's important to choose the right material. In this article, I will introduce you to the best fabrics for sewing EASY pants, their properties, and tips for working with them.
Because it's always useful. Isn't it?
Winter softshell with fleece lining
Winter softshell with fleece lining is an ideal choice for cold winter days. This material combines a durable outer layer with a pleasantly warm interior made of imitation lambskin. Although it is polyester, it is super for really cold days. And when you sew pants from it, you suddenly have "snow pants" in practice. Remember the classic pants from UNUO.cz. They are beautiful and made from this material.
Properties:
-
Waterproof and windproof: Protects against bad weather. Does not let wind through.
-
Thermal insulation: The inner layer keeps you warm even in freezing temperatures. The fleece lining is beautifully warm.
-
Easy maintenance: Softshell repels dirt and is easy to wash. But you also need to choose a good color. Otherwise, it immediately looks like a pig.
Sewing tips:
With this material, you'll probably be a little annoyed by the amount of hair it sheds when cutting. Unfortunately, that's how it is. It makes a mess. But my secret tip is to use an adhesive lint roller from IKEA and carefully roll everything after each cutting and sewing of this material.
Cut with scissors. Unfortunately, a rotary cutter doesn't work. It gets caught in the fibers.
Winter softshell with fleece
This softshell is similar to winter softshell with fleece lining, but instead of fleece lining, it has a softer layer of fine napped fabric on the reverse side. Sometimes this layer is thicker, sometimes not.
Properties:
-
Versatile use: Suitable for autumn and milder winters.
-
Pleasant to the touch: The inner layer is soft and comfortable.
-
Breathability: Protects against sweating during movement.
Sewing tips: Fleece does not slip like lambskin when sewing, which makes sewing easier. Use an overlock for finishing the edges.
Other alternatives:
Fleece
Fleece is a great material for pants in dry but cold weather. It is lightweight, breathable, and pleasantly warm.
Sewing tips: Due to the elastic nature of fleece, use a stretch needle and elastic seams.
Boiled wool
This material is natural, breathable, and very warm. Boiled wool is suitable for more elegant pants or for winter models with an emphasis on thermal insulation.
Sewing tips: Wash the wool before cutting to minimize shrinkage. Use a sharp needle for wool.
Softshell without lining
If you are looking for a variant for warmer spring days, unlined softshell is ideal. It offers protection against wind and light moisture.
