    4-H CDM Skill-a-Thon Sewing & Clothing ID The photos shown here are only one option of what an item may look like. Other options are available. Revised November 2020 Batik - Indonesian technique of wax resist dyeing applied to whole cloth. This technique originated from Java, Indonesia. It is made either by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool called a tjanting, or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a cap. Broadcloth - A very lightweight, smooth, flat looking fabric, with no pattern in the weave of the threads. It is similar in quality to pinpoint fabric but has less texture. This usually means it is slightly more transparent and not as shiny as the pinpoint. Chambray - A plain weave fabric woven with a colored yarn in the warp and a white yarn in the weft. Corduroy - A fabric with a distinct pattern, a “cord” or wale. It is mostly composed of tufted cords, sometimes exhibiting a channel (bare to the base fabric) between the tufts. Cotton - A fabric made from the fiber of its namesake plant. It is good for first time sewers to use because it’s easy to work with and used for everyday clothing. Eyelet - A type of fabric that has holes that are edged using a buttonhole stitch. The holes are precisely sized and situated to create a pattern or patterns, often floral designs or abstract geometric arrangements. Faux Fur - A fabric fashioned to simulate genuine animal hair. It is known as a pile fabric and is typically made from polymeric fibers that are processed, dyed, and cut to match a specific texture and color.
