Many organizations appear willing to spend huge amounts on fixing and altering poorly specified software, but seem unwilling to invest a much smaller amount to get the requirements right in the first place. Mastering the Requirements Process, Second Edition, sets out an industry-proven process for gathering and verifying requirements with an eye toward today's agile development environments. In this total update of the bestselling guide, the authors show how to discover precisely what the customer wants and needs while doing the minimum requirements work according to the project's level of agility.

Some fabrics are difficult to work with and would be the cause of a very frustrating experience for you. We want to avoid that!

This type of fabric is sometimes referred to as 'calico'. Calico fabrics are found in just about any fabric store. They are100% cotton and come in 42' - 45' width and have many types of prints. It is also important to avoid plaids and obvious diagonals if you are a beginner, because they require pattern matching. We do not cover that in this book, but we have an excellent tutorial on matching plaids. In choosing fabric, remember your project. Is this fabric appropriate for what you are making?

'Test' the fabric. Drape it over your arm and watch how it falls. A dress fabric should drape nicely. A fabric for a tote bag should be stiffer. Scrunch it up into a ball and then let it go. Does it wrinkle easily?

Don't forget fabric care. A fabric that requires dry cleaning would not be appropriate for towel trim, for example. Refer to the back of your project's pattern envelope for fabric suggestions. See Chapter 3 for more information on reading pattern cover backs.

There is usually some choice in fabrics, but do not choose a fabric that the pattern specifically says not to use. Do you have experience with this type of fabric?

Will your machine handle it well? Although stretch knits are wonderful to use with sergers, they are difficult to work with on a regular sewing machine (unless your machine has stretch stitch capability). Texture should be considered. If the fabric will be used for clothing, is it comfortable against the skin?

Pattern instructions (or the back of the pattern cover) will state required yardage. Remember that patterns do not allow for shrinkage when stating quantity of fabric to purchase.

For fabrics that shrink, buy a bit extra to allow for the shrinkage. If you are tall, you will need to add to the pattern length, which will require more fabric.

Plaids and directional prints also require extra yardage, because fabric is wasted in the process of matching the fabric. ALWAYS pre-wash your fabric (if it is washable). Dry clean the fabric if that is the required method of cleaning. This is not a place to cut corners! What a shame it would be to make a wonderful skirt that has a perfect fit, only to have it shrink in the wash! One of the benefits of sewing is that you can prevent this problem. If the fabric comes out wrinkled, a good ironing will make it easier to work with.
