Fabrics for Fashion Design — Essential Learning for Designers

Via uses fabric properties as a starting point for design decisions. Woven and knit construction, fibre content and garment-weight choices lead into using color and pattern within a collection. The course makes textile selection part of developing an idea rather than leaving it as a purchase decision after a sketch is finished.

What you will learn

• Distinguish woven and knit construction
• Compare fibre and weight considerations
• Connect textile choices with a design theme

Who this suits

A fit for a beginner who wants to understand why a fabric may suit one garment idea better than another before buying materials or developing a collection.

Before you enroll

The provider lists no requirements and about one hour and 12 minutes of video, updated March 2026. The syllabus also includes creative fabric-treatment examples. Review supplies and material suitability before attempting them. An illustration of a fabric effect does not establish its durability, care requirements or suitability for production.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the current course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current access terms and any separate software or material costs before enrolling.

Put it into practice

Compare several available fabric samples against one garment sketch. Record texture, structure and drape observations, then explain which choice supports the design and what still needs testing in a sample.
