As a Fashion and Psychology Major, I have this need, desire, drive to know all there is to know about fashion. \u00a0Textiles have always had me intrigued. \u00a0What is the evolution of knit fabric? How can cotton and poly blend together and create so many different fabrics? \u00a0Why is double knit in 2015 completely different than the fabric of the same name in the 1970s? \u00a0Why do fabrics behave so differently? \u00a0The questions are endless.<\/p>\n
I feel knit fabric is\u00a0evolution of textiles. \u00a0Think about when all clothing was made of cotton. \u00a0I cannot imagine wearing clothing without at least a little stretch. \u00a0That sounds horrible to me. I remember fashions trends resulting in new social rules. \u00a0NO SHIRT NO SHOES NO SERVICE. \u00a0<\/strong>As a child of the 70s this was devastating. \u00a0I did not go topless, just to be clear haha. \u00a0I did not like and still do not like shoes though.<\/p>\n Knit is a good example of a fabric with a personality that has evolved over the years. \u00a0I started sewing my clothes in the 1980s. \u00a0Knit was one of my favorite fabrics. \u00a0I love the way it feels, or the hand of the fabric. \u00a0I never considered it as a difficult fabric to work with. But, as I got back into sewing earlier this year, the internet is FULL\u00a0<\/strong>of techniques for sewing with knit. Threads Magazine<\/a>\u00a0defines slinky knit, jersey knit, and stretch velvet as moderately difficult to sew with. \u00a0Everything else is considered easy by this magazine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As a Fashion and Psychology Major, I have this need, desire, drive to know all there is to know about fashion. \u00a0Textiles have always had me intrigued. \u00a0What is the evolution of knit fabric?
