Autumn

What Is the Autumn Collection?

Rather than a single fabric type, the Autumn collection is a seasonal edit that pulls together our most fall-appropriate constructions, richer weights, deeper colorways, and textures with more visual depth into one place. It spans knits and wovens, sheers and heavyweights, solids and prints, unified by a color story built around jewel tones, plaids, warm neutrals, and metallics rather than by a shared fiber or construction.

Why This Collection Works for Fall

Fall dressing and fall sewing projects both tend to lean on the same qualities: more structure, more texture, and colors that read as warm even when the fabric itself is lightweight. A collection built this way lets a shopper move between a lace for eveningwear and a scuba for a structured blazer without leaving the seasonal color palette behind, which is harder to do browsing by fabric type alone.

Fabric Types in This Collection

This collection brings together several distinct constructions, each carrying its own drape, weight, and finish, but all selected for how well they suit fall projects and colorways.

• Boucle: A looped, textured weave or knit with visible surface interest. Popular for structured jackets and Fall separates.
• Chiffon: A sheer, lightweight woven fabric with a soft drape. Used for overlays, sleeves, and layering pieces.
• ITY (interlock twist yarn): A fluid, recoverable knit with moderate stretch. Suited to draped dresses and wrap styles.
• Jacquard: A woven or knitted fabric with the pattern built into the structure rather than printed on top, giving a dimensional, textured surface.
• Lace: An open, patterned construction ranging from delicate florals to bold geometric motifs. Common in eveningwear and bridal detailing.
• Matte jersey chiffon: A softer, more matte alternative to standard chiffon, with a similar lightweight drape and less shine.
• Scuba: A thick, stable double-knit with strong shape retention. Used for structured dresses, blazers, and clean-finished garments.
• Suiting: A structured woven fabric built for tailoring, with enough body to hold a crisp line.
• Textured knit: A knit base with a raised or irregular surface texture, adding visual interest without a print.
• Velvet: A heavyweight pile fabric with deep color saturation and a soft hand, closely associated with fall and winter eveningwear.
• Yoryu: A crinkled, textured weave with a distinctive puckered surface and good drape.

Choosing the Right Construction

With eleven different constructions in one collection, the right choice comes down to how much structure, stretch, and coverage a project needs. Scuba, suiting, and jacquard hold a cleaner, more structured line for tailored pieces. Chiffon, matte jersey chiffon, and lace suit softer, more layered eveningwear. ITY and textured knit are the more forgiving, everyday options, while velvet and boucle bring the most seasonal texture for statement pieces.

What to Make with Autumn Fabric

The range of constructions in this collection means it supports fall projects across apparel, accessories, and home décor.

Fabric Care and Sewing Tips

Because this collection spans so many constructions, care needs vary more than in a single-fabric collection, so check the specific fabric type before cutting or washing. Sheer wovens like chiffon and matte jersey chiffon fray easily and benefit from a fine needle and French seams or a serged finish. Stretch knits such as scuba, ITY, and textured knit hold up well to a walking foot and a ballpoint or stretch needle, which helps prevent skipped stitches. Handle lace and jacquard with care around raised or corded motifs, since aggressive pressing can flatten the texture that defines the fabric.

Always press velvet from the reverse side with a pressing cloth, or steam it rather than ironing directly, to avoid crushing the pile. Suiting and boucle generally tolerate a standard iron setting but benefit from a press cloth to protect any surface texture. As with any fabric, test a swatch for shrinkage, color bleed, and pressing behavior before cutting a full length. Swatches are available for that purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Autumn collection a specific type of fabric?

No. It is a curated seasonal edit spanning multiple constructions, including boucle, chiffon, jacquard, lace, scuba, suiting, and more, selected for colors and textures that suit fall projects rather than for a shared fiber or weave.

Which fabric in this collection is best for a structured jacket?

Scuba, suiting, and boucle are the strongest choices for structured outerwear, since all three hold a clean line and enough body to support tailoring without collapsing.

What is the difference between jacquard and lace in this collection?

Jacquard is a solid-based fabric with a pattern woven or knitted into its structure, giving it a textured but opaque surface. Lace is an open, patterned construction with visible gaps between the motifs, making it sheer rather than opaque.

Can I mix constructions within a single project?

Yes, and it is common practice for fall garments. Pairing a structured scuba or suiting body with a chiffon or lace overlay, sleeve, or lining is a straightforward way to combine texture and drape in one piece.

Do all fabrics in this collection need special care?

Not all, but several do. Velvet needs pressing from the reverse side to protect the pile, and sheer wovens like chiffon fray easily and benefit from finished seams. Checking the specific fabric type before washing or pressing is the safest approach across this collection.
