How Sri Sakthi Textiles Became the Top Choice for Cotton Fabric in Erode?

In the bustling textile hub of Erode, there’s a place where quality meets tradition Sri Sakthi Textiles. Decades ago, this family-run business began with a single mission: to craft the finest cotton fabric for people across India and beyond. Word spread quickly as Sri Sakthi Textiles earned a reputation for quality and reliability, becoming the go-to source for cotton fabric in Erode.

As the business grew, so did their collection. The team introduced modal fabric, a soft and sustainable choice that quickly became a favorite among fashion designers looking for that unique blend of comfort and elegance. Soon after, they added linen fabric, perfect for those seeking a breathable, natural look that’s as stylish as it is timeless.

Each roll of fabric tells a story of craftsmanship and care, woven with the dedication that Sri Sakthi Textiles has stood by for generations. Today, designers, artisans, and businesses from all over trust Sri Sakthi Textiles to provide the very best. They know that every fabric—from cotton and modal to linen—is crafted with love and a commitment to excellence, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to bring their creations to life with a touch of authenticity.

Traveling enriches one’s self through the experience of visiting new places, cultures, and cuisines. However, for most of us, while on a packing spree, the most challenging task is to go light with the suitcase and yet in style with the ethnic wear. Ethnic attire is full of vibrant colours and elaborate designs and is highly cross-cultural, holding infinite possibilities of being versatile and travel-friendly if chosen well. Here is how you can pack light and look fabulous in your ethnic wear when traveling.

Hello! I am newer to the sewing craft and hobby. I was wondering if you had any tips or thoughts on your favorite fabrics to use, qualities to look out for, and any other general tips you might want to give to a blooming designer. Most of my work is gonna be more whimsical and less historical, but that doesn't mean I can't use all the help and tips I can get going in! I will write down any valuable information you can give in my notes.

That is a VERY broad question and I don't really know how to answer without knowing more specifically what you're sewing! I do 18th century menswear, and very 18th century inspired everyday clothing, but I have no idea what you're looking to make, so I don't know if we need the same fabrics. Like, when I hear "more whimsical and less historical", for me that would be something like a tailored suit that looks like it's made of leaves, but for someone else it might be a big floofy ballgown.

But to answer the bit about my favourite fabrics - I prefer woven fabrics in natural fibres with no stretch. I use a lot of linen, cotton, wool, and some silk and rayon, with the weight and specific kind of fabric depending on what garment I'm making and what season it's for. Usually they're medium or heavy weight, with the exception of shirts. My favourite thing for nightgowns is thrifted 100% cotton bedsheets, my favourite thing for shirts is lightweight linen, and I like making pants out of heavy cotton and jackets and waistcoats out of wool suiting, but there are lots more materials I've used for these things.

And there are people who like to sew with stretch knits, or who use a lot of shiny synthetics, or lightweight gauzy fabrics! There are tons of different kinds of fabric, and the ones that are best for you will depend on what kind of garments you're making, what kind of wear they'll get, and your budget. (Though I will say that I'm a polyester & acrylic hater. Sometimes synthetics can be nice if you need something sparkly and shiny that can't be done with natural fibres, and I do usually machine sew with poly thread, but polyester fabrics are often a Bad Texture and they don't breathe and I avoid wearing or working with them.)

One thing that might be helpful is going to your nearest fabric store and touching lots of fabric and reading the labels. It's not the same as actually sewing with them, but it should help you get a bit more familiar with the textures of various weaves/how much they fray/etc. (Also looking at the fibre content on the labels of your own clothing, even though these days far too many things are polyester, or some sort of blend, and there are lots of great fabrics people are missing out on.)

I'd also recommend Nicole Rudolph's videos on fabric - she's got ones on wool, silk, linen, cotton, and tailoring supplies, which ought to give you a good idea of the various qualities of those particular natural fibres.

Here's a link to my FAQ, which has some other sewing questions I've answered over the years.

What are we here for? Textures, my friends, textures! Loki textures!

This tunic has three different materials/fibres involved: a waffle weave cotton, a rayon/cotton blend with a lovely sheen, and of course the snakeskin embossed leather. Absolutely none of them started green! I dyed the two fabrics, and used Angelous leather paint to match the snakeskin to the rest.🙌

Official Promo Hoodie

Detailed Pictures Courtesy of @arth-ur

The most popular fandom recreation, Jack Frost's iconic blue hoodie, did have an official version during the movie's premier showing.

The hoodie is a dark blue with white zipper and drawstrings and light blue frost print on the pocket, collar, elbows, and wrist areas. Heather is a type of fabric where grey material is woven with another color, this gives the official hoodie a grey look in most photos you will find of it.

The frost pattern is printed unevenly along the collar, as the hoodies were not made custom but printed onto the American Apparel F497 zip-hoodie. The current (2024) F497 available is a 50/50 polyester cotton while the 2012 hoodie was a tri-blend of cotton, polyester, and rayon. This is important when identifying well made reprints of the hoodie.

The most notable frost pattern will be the logo on the right arm sleeve, the Rise of the Guardians title will be below and to the right of the frost pattern, not directly below or inside it.

There is also photos online of hoodies with black draw strings, I currently have no information on this variant.

I do not currently have a price range on this as it rarely shows up online under the tags and the ones that do vary wildly in price. I would personally price it at above $50 at the lowest, however the Fandom recreations are often lovingly crafted and depending on quality and if its embroidered, bedazzled, or covered in glitter, can go for above $100. A Jack Frost cosplay with staff was just posted (Oct 2nd 2024) on Mercari for $60 and was sold within the hour.

I would really like to learn to crochet or knit, but I'm allergic to both wool and acrylic. Are there good options for this using cotton or other fabric yarn?

Oh, tons!

Lily's Sugar & Cream is a great yarn to start with. 100% cotton, and available basically anywhere. It's generally used for "housewares" sort of projects, but you can use it for anything really. The link up there will get you to the brand website, which will have a bunch of free patterns to check out.

Knitpicks has a lot of options with cotton. Some of these ARE cotton/acrylic, so double check labels. I really like Dishie (their answer to Lily's), and I'm currently working with Cotlin (a cotton/linen blend) for a big project. They've also got stuff made with beech fiber and bamboo, which I can tell you from experience holds up very well. Knitpicks is online only, but I've used them for years and recommend them highly.

Lion Brand has some good cottons and cotton blends. I really like Coboo, which is super soft. I also just got some Truboo for making a sweater. It's rayon made from bamboo. Lion Brand, like Lily's, is available basically everywhere you might have nearby.

Bamboo, cotton, and linen are all pretty easy to find, either alone or combined. There's also a bunch of other animal fibers like alpaca or angora you can get your hands on, though they'll be pricier.

Anyway, lots of options to get you started!

Rayon fabric is a versatile and widely used textile that offers various advantages in terms of comfort, drape, and aesthetics. It is a popular choice in the fashion industry and is known for its unique characteristics. Here's a description of rayon fabrics:

Natural origin: Rayon is a semi-synthetic fabric that is derived from natural sources, primarily cellulose from wood pulp. It is considered a regenerated fiber because it undergoes a chemical process to transform the raw materials into a usable fabric.

Soft and comfortable: One of the standout features of rayon fabric is its softness. It has a smooth and silky texture that feels pleasant against the skin, making it a comfortable choice for clothing. Rayon also has excellent breathability, allowing air to flow through the fabric and keeping the body cool.

Are you looking to shop more sustainably? One way is to buy clothing that has natural fibers. Plastics in clothing is one of the main contributors to microplastics. So what to look for?

Polyester, elastin, and poly-blends are all plastic based fibers. Similarly, if you buy wool avoid Angelina. That's just Easter grass mixed in to give shimmer.

More sustainable fabrics are: cotton, linen, wool, cashmere, leather, rayon and hemp. Bamboo is a more sustainable rayon than other types. Some leathers have a lot of toxic chemicals in the processing but leather lasts and you'll produce less waste overall.

Avoid vegan leather. Unless it's mushroom based, that's just plastic. Get cotton shoes like converse.

It may cost a little more, but it's worth it for yourself and the planet.

Dear Diary…

Today I am wearing *real* jeans for the first time in years.

Not leggings. Not joggers. Not nylon or rayon or polyester. Not skinny “jeans” with fabric blends that give them lots of stretch.

They aren’t sized small, medium, or large. They aren’t even sized 8, 10, or 12.

Today, I’m wearing jeans made out of 100% cotton, sized by the inches of my waist. Like God and Levi Strauss intended.

I have evolved.
