Dana Willard’s The Fabric Selector is the 2011 paperback every sewing room needs, a concise visual reference that walks you through dozens of modern fabrics, their weights, drapes, and ideal uses. Young and adult makers alike reach for this slim, information-dense textbook whenever a pattern says “suitable for lightweight wovens” and they need the final word on what to buy.

Inside, crisp photos sit beside easy-scan charts on needle size, shrinkage, and care, turning spontaneous fabric-store trips into confident, purposeful shopping. Whether you design fashion, quilts, or simple crafts, Willard’s quick lessons on fiber behavior keep pricey yardage from becoming pricey mistakes.

This copy is in good, clean condition—no dog-eared corners or smoke odors—making it a practical addition to any hobbyist’s shelf. The front inside cover carries a neat gift inscription, adding a personal touch without affecting the author’s text or the book’s usability.

Ideal for adult learners, fashion students, and contemporary DIYers, The Fabric Selector remains a trusted guide for anyone who wants their next handmade garment or décor project to start with the right cloth.
