Course: Textiles 101 with Emily
Textiles 101
Fiber, Structure & How Fabric Actually Works
Two, 3-Hour Sessions | The Design Studio at Boho Fabrics
If you’ve ever stood in front of a bolt of fabric and thought,
What could this actually be used for?
Or if you’ve sat at home trying to order fabric online and couldn’t quite decipher the difference between rayon challis, cotton lawn, twill, jersey, ponte, and everything in between — this class is for you.
Textiles 101 is designed to take the mystery out of fabric.
Over two in-depth sessions, we’ll start at the beginning — fiber. From there, we’ll build into structure, construction, and real-world sewing application so you can understand not just what a fabric is called, but how it behaves and why.
We’ll cover:
• Natural vs. synthetic fibers — how they’re made and how they perform
• How fiber content affects drape, durability, breathability, and care
• Woven vs. knit construction (and why that distinction matters)
• Common weave structures and fabric bases
• How to choose fabric intentionally for garments
• Practical sewing considerations across a range of textiles
This is not a project class.
It’s a knowledge class — the kind that changes how you walk through a fabric store.
Each student will receive a printed Textile Toolkit to reference long after class ends.
Launch Price: $90
Standard Price: $100
Textiles 101 is the first in an ongoing textile education series. A Textiles 201 course will follow for those who want to go deeper into specialty fabrics, advanced applications, and more technical exploration.

Are your fabrics sold by the yard or half yard?
Everything's sold by the yard with a few exceptions. Certain Ribbing & Quilting Cottons are sold by the half yard (but this is stated in the title).
What is your order processing time?
As of Feb 20th, we're zipping through orders in 2-4 business days! 🚀 Please be patient with fabric bundles though, these do take us just a little be longer since they are curated specially for you.
Just a heads up, though - during the holiday frenzy or after a mega sale like Black Friday, it might take up to 10 business days. We're on it, though, aiming to get those gorgeous fabrics in your hands within 5 days!
Do you Combine Shipping?
Absolutely! Place any orders within 3 business days of each other, and we'll snug them together. If they're further apart, just shoot us an email at bohofabrics@gmail.com, and we'll see what we can do. Any shipping overages will come back to you as a Boho Giftcard. 🎁
Do you Refund Shipping Overages?
Great News! We now offer FREE SHIPPING for all orders over $175 within the Contiguous USA! If your order is less than $175, we offer flat rate shipping for $12.95. Due to our new Flat Rate Shipping policy, we do not refund shipping overages.
Can I cancel my order?
You bet, as long as we haven't printed that shipping label. We'll refund your order minus a 5% fee.
How much is Shipping?
For orders over $175, shipping's on us within the Contiguous USA! Orders under $175 have a flat rate of $12.95. Really big orders might need to bypass PO Boxes and head straight to a traditional address via UPS or FedEx.
*Excludes Shipping to PO Boxes, Alaska, Hawaii & Puerto Rico. Shipping overages will be invoiced to customers for packages being shipped to those regions.
What is your Return Policy?
Gotcha covered! If the fabric isn't quite what you envisioned, send it back within 14 days of receiving it, uncut and unwashed, for a refund
Please note that shipping costs are non-refundable as this is a cost incurred and not refunded to us by the carriers.
We recommend obtaining tracking for any returns you send as well as sending us an email so that we can be on alert for the package (and to process your return faster!)
Please send returns to:
