Why is it called Spandex?
The word “spandex” was created by rearranging the word “expands,” which makes a lot of sense as it is known for its impeccable stretch.
What Projects Are Best for Spandex Fabric?
Because it is so stretchy, spandex fabric is a top choice for activewear, such as workout clothes, bike shorts, and leggings. It is also ideal for swimsuits and undergarments.
How Breathable is Spandex?
Spandex fabric may be lightweight but is not a very breathable fabric. However, it is very good at moisture-wicking and does not show sweat!
How to Best Work with Spandex Fabric:
- Be sure to pin the fabric inside the seam allowance before sewing
- Test your stitching on scrap spandex fabric first
- Gently stretch - but don’t forcefully pull - the fabric as you sew
Supplies You May Need:
- Sharp dressmakers’ scissors
- Chalk to mark the fabric
- Ballpoint needle
- Stretch thread
