How To Use & Hints and tips
Gaberdine is perfect for projects that need body, structure and durability. It works especially well for trousers, skirts, schoolwear, uniforms, blazers, pinafores and lightweight jackets.
For best results, use a universal or sharp sewing needle and a good quality polyester thread. As gaberdine is a woven fabric, it can fray on raw edges, so overlocking or zigzag finishing is recommended. Press seams carefully with a medium heat and always test on a small piece first. Pre-washing is a good idea before cutting to help remove any residual shrinkage and ensure the finished garment behaves as expected after laundering.
