Frequently asked questions
Got questions? We’ve got you. Here’s everything you need to know before sewing your next make.
Product + Fabric
What type of fabrics do you specialize in?
We specialize in high-quality, fashion-forward fabrics for swimwear, activewear, loungewear, and work/casual wear. Our collection includes performance knits, stretch mesh, ribbed textures, and more.
What’s the difference between your swim, lounge, and work/casual fabrics?
Swim fabrics are high-performance with excellent stretch and recovery — ideal for water, activewear, and anything that needs to move with you. Lounge fabrics are softer, cozier knits made for ultimate comfort in everyday wear. Our work and casual fabrics offer more structure or drape, perfect for tailored pieces like trousers, blouses, and versatile day-to-night styles.
Are your swim fabrics chlorine- and UV-resistant?
Yes! Most of our swim fabrics are designed with chlorine resistance and UV protection in mind. We clearly label each fabric’s specs, so you know exactly what you’re working with.
Can I use your fabrics for kids’ or activewear?
Absolutely. Many of our fabrics are kid-safe and suitable for activewear, though we always recommend checking the fiber content and stretch specs for your specific project needs.
How do I care for the fabrics after sewing?
We recommend gentle machine wash cold and line dry for most fabrics to maintain their color, stretch, and shape. Specific care instructions are listed on each product page.
Are your fabrics pre-washed or do they need to be pre-shrunk?
Our fabrics are not pre-washed. We always recommend pre-washing your fabric before cutting to prevent any unexpected shrinkage and to test colorfastness.
Ordering + Shipping
How much is one unit of fabric?
One unit equals a half meter (20 inches) unless otherwise stated. So if you need 1.5 meters, you’d order 3 units. The total amount will be cut as one continuous piece whenever possible.
What’s the minimum order amount?
There’s no order minimum — our fabrics are sold in 0.5 meter increments (20 inches). Whether you’re making a small project or buying in bulk, we’ve got you covered.
How quickly do orders ship out?
