Attention aspiring garment sewists!

Choosing the right stretch fabric shouldn't be hard

Inside the Stretch Fabric 101 course, you’ll learn how to pick the right knit fabric for your project, how to sew it without it stretching out or jamming in your machine, and how to finish things off so they actually look good. All on the machine you already have!

By the end, you’ll know what to buy, what to avoid, and how to sew stretch without wasting fabric or getting stuck.

Stretch Fabrics - Know what to buy, how to sew it, and what to expect

Stop second-guessing every knit (aka stretch) fabric you find.

You finally find a pattern you love, but then it says “use a knit fabric with minimum 25% horizontal stretch.”

That could mean anything: cotton jersey, rib knit, modal, interlock… fabrics you don’t know anything about, where to find them or how to buy them.

Even when you do sew your garment, half the time it doesn’t turn out the way you imagined anyway. Necklines stretch out. Hems go wavy. Seams pop. And you’re left wondering if it’s you, your machine, or just bad luck.

It’s not you. You just haven’t been shown how knit/stretch fabrics actually work.

That’s what this course is for.

I’ve gained more confidence to test out different fabrics plus stitches on my sewing machine, overlocker/serger & coverstitch which has been rewarding!

Confidence and new sewing obsession has defintely grown. Although should sew more and look at fabrics less! I have been working on the skills from Module 3 to make two Jaunty Dresses from Tadah. One on my Overlocker/Serger, one on my Bernina Domestic.

My Confidence is growing so much! Learning much easier ways to do things and lots of new things. I definitely love the videos as I can go back due to my ADHD brain sometimes needing a few times for things to sink in lol.

Hello, I'm Megan

This isn’t your first time sewing.

You know how to thread your machine and follow a pattern.

But stretch fabrics are a different beast. And most tutorials either skip over the tricky stuff or make it sound harder than it is.

This course bridges the gap. It’s designed for home sewists who want real results. The kind you can wear, not just pin on a board for inspiration.

I’m Megan, founder of Sew & Tell Australia, and I’ve helped thousands of people just like you get better results without getting overwhelmed. I’ve sewn with knits for over a decade, and I created this course because it’s exactly what I wish I had when I started.

Imagine this when you see a knit fabric pattern you love instead:

– You walk into the fabric store and actually know what to buy. OR

– You look online at fabric and feel confident in what you’re ordering

– You cut your fabric without it curling or stretching out of shape

– Your seams hold, your hems sit flat, and your neckline looks neat

– You stop avoiding patterns that say “stretch fabric required”

– You finish more projects. You feel proud of what you make. And you want to wear it.

Stop avoiding patterns that say “stretch fabric required” Learn Stretch Fabrics

That’s the difference.
