Apparel is generally accepted as a synonym for clothing. You’ll find that certain fabrics are designated as being appropriate for apparel, and sewing patterns for clothing will also use the word apparel.
Sewing hand made garments is growing in popularity and you may also notice that quilters are joining the fun. This cross over sewing is bringing more quilting cottons into popularity. While they offer a wide range of popular designs it is important to use in the correct application due to drape.
