Laptop Bag made using Nicole Mallalieu's pattern. Under the flap is an enlargement of my daughter's drawing of daddy in uniform. Also embellished with name tapes custom made with special messages. :-) And the interior fabric is my own design featuring my my kids' drawings.

Laptop Bag made using Nicole Mallalieu's pattern. I started this a LONG time ago but was unhappy with the Timtex interfacing I used -- too stiff. Here it is completed with fusible batting (as directed in the pattern instructions) instead of Timtex. Much better! The "soldier" is my daughter's drawing of daddy, made when she was about four.

Laptop Bag made using Nicole Mallalieu's pattern. Made with recycled BDU fabric and pocket, kid's drawing, custom name tape...

Laptop Bag made using Nicole Mallalieu's pattern I'm still not 100% happy with the interior. I may come back some day and redo the green strip. I accidentally ironed the strap and got black smudges on the bright green (not shown in the photo). If I replace that section, I'd redo the top stitching in green too as I'm not wild about the black.

How to Choose the Right Shirt Fabric

Fabric Composition

100% CottonSkin-friendly, highly breathable, excellent sweat absorption and premium texture. Suitable for business and daily formal shirts. Easy to wrinkle and shrink after washing.

TC Polyester CottonWrinkle-resistant, shrink-proof, durable and easy to care for. Cost-effective and perfect for work shirts, staff uniforms and daily wear.

TR Polyester RayonSmooth surface, good drape, soft luster and great anti-wrinkle performance. Ideal for business shirts, office uniforms and medical uniforms.

Stretch FabricBlended with spandex for flexible stretch, comfortable to wear without tightness, great for slim-fit shirts and long-hour office wear.

Yarn Count & DensityHigher yarn count means softer, finer and more high-grade fabric.Medium yarn count features better thickness, stiffness and durability, which is the best choice for workwear.Higher density ensures better structure, pilling resistance and longer service life.

Weave Type

Plain weave: Lightweight and breathable, perfect for summer short-sleeve shirts.

2/2 Twill: Thick, stiff, wear-resistant and all-season material, widely used in uniforms and workwear.

Poplin: Fine texture with elegant appearance, commonly used for formal business shirts.

Select by Application Scenarios

Daily commuting & staff uniform: TC / TR twill fabric, wrinkle free and easy maintenance.

High-end business wear: High-count cotton or premium blended fabric.

Summer shirts: Lightweight, breathable and moisture-wicking fabric.

Special occupations such as medical, catering and factory: Fade-resistant, washing-resistant and breathable functional fabrics.

Key Performance Indicators

Fabric weight decides thickness for summer or winter use.

Professional finishing such as non-iron, anti-pilling, moisture wicking and high color fastness greatly improve wearing experience and durability.

Part 1: Differences between Carded Yarn and Combed Yarn

Fiber Length: Carded yarn contains a mix of long and short fibers; combed yarn mainly consists of long fibers with most short lint eliminated.

Fiber Parallelism: Fibers in carded yarn are generally arranged irregularly; fibers of combed yarn are neatly aligned with excellent parallelism.

Yarn Appearance: Carded yarn has abundant surface fuzz and slubs with an unsmooth look; combed yarn features sleek surface, little fuzz and fine texture.

Yarn Tenacity: Carded yarn owns relatively low strength due to inconsistent fiber length and weak cohesion; combed yarn has higher tensile strength from tight cohesion of long fibers.

Yarn Evenness: Carded yarn has mediocre evenness and uneven thickness; combed yarn achieves superior and uniform yarn count.

Impurity Content: Carded yarn retains relatively high impurities; combed yarn has extremely low impurity after full cleaning process.

Part 2: Feature Differences of Final Fabrics

Yarn characteristics directly decide the comprehensive performance of finished fabrics:

Hand Feel: Carded fabric feels comparatively rough with granular texture; combed fabric is soft, sleek and delicate.

Appearance: Carded fabric has uneven surface with possible cotton neps and impurities; combed fabric boasts smooth cloth face, distinct grain and barely any flaws.

Durability: Carded fabric is less durable, easy to fuzz, pill and abrade; combed fabric is wear-resistant, anti-pilling and longer-lasting.

Air Permeability & Luster: Carded fabric shows average performance on breathability and gloss; combed fabric performs much better: regularly arranged fibers create consistent luster, its compact pure structure brings pleasant air permeability.

Shrinkage Rate: Carded fabric has comparatively high shrinkage; combed fabric keeps low and stable shrinkage value.

Low prices only win one-time deals, while reliability builds lifelong clients.

Risks brought by cheap deals far outweigh price differences.

Low-cost fabrics often fail color fastness standards and fade easily after washing.

Shoddy processing leads to unstable shrinkage rate, resulting in finished garment scrap.

Empty low-price promises always cause delayed delivery and hold up seasonal goods.

Behind low prices lie evasive after-sales service and ambiguous accountability.
