A sewing fabric suitable for crocheting, tatting or creating heirloom pieces must be delicate and soft, yet durable. Lace has long been a favorite for sewing projects, such as doilies and ornaments, while crocheted wool scarves or gloves are holiday gifts that never lose their charm. Children's rompers are a perfect fit for corduroy fabric, while batiste has long been used for smocking and sewing projects like Confirmation dresses and other childrens' formal wear. Printed cotton fabrics, such as lawn or gingham checks, are also well-suited for sewing projects, as they add a touch of whimsy or texture to any design.
