Re: What fabric do you love to sew with most?
I love cotton, too, but I couldn't limit myself to just one fabric or fiber either. I like the feel of freshly starched cotton. I love muslin so much, I buy it by the bolt, different kinds and hoard the good stuff. I use the cheap muslin to experiment with making patterns and save the better quality for backing fine delicate cottons or linen. I love all kinds of quilting cotton, even the ugly ones. Everything works if you cut it up small enough. I love broadcloth for dog coats with a nice knit fusible interfacing. I love to embroider on duck cloth for aprons and bags - I mean bags for tents and other things that come with flimsy nylon bags that never fit. Denim and canvas are fun, too. I'm not sure about seersucker. Is that even cotton?

No. 1 ... the picture makes me want to buy the magazine and sew the shirt. No. 2 ... this picture makes me want to shop. So, No. 1 is my pick.
