Stretch woven is such a loved TSM base. From the moment it hit the shelves at The Styled Magnolia, it became an instant favorite. While every sewist has their favorite pattern to use Stretch Woven on, I hope to show you just how truly versatile of a base it is, and can be!

One of the most popular items we have seen sewn using Stretch Woven (SW) is shorts. The lightweight, moisture wicking nature of SW makes it a fabulous choice for shorts. They are breathable, moveable, airy, and non-sticky feeling in the height of summer. One of my personal favorite qualities is that sand doesn't stick to SW. We can go to the beach and not take the beach back home with us! A definite win.
(A fun bonus is ordering ABP or Swim for a matching sports bra or swim top!)
Boardshorts also have a 'wow' factor when sewn in Stretch Woven. Again, the lightweight feel makes them comfortable for all day wear, while the quick drying nature of Stretch Woven (SW) also makes it a perfect choice. The Jalie Patterns Boardshorts, Greenstyle Creations Motion Shorts, and Greenstyle Solana shorts have been a couple favorite Boardshort style patterns of our team to sew!
