Confirmed fabric families

The official store description names cotton, linen, wool, silk and velvet. Developer notes also distinguish the shine of silk and velvet and mention niche materials such as sequins. The game contains many individual fabrics, but this Wiki does not copy an unverified full inventory.

Handling leftovers

Offcuts can be reused when a later pattern fits. Plan large components first and keep small remnants only when their dimensions remain useful.

Build 443 additions and requirement weighting

The October announcement names new cottons, lace, shot silks and gradient silks. See the sourced item list for names and unlock limits. It also boosts small components' contributions to colour and fabric-type requirements, so a collar can matter more than its raw area suggests.
