Winter is all about wool—but what fabrics are best suited for steamy summer months? Sew Special in Kahului, HI, has all the sewing supplies you need to get you through any season. Since 1978, these sewing and quilt supplies professionals have been serving the Maui community with the island’s most comprehensive selection of fabrics and supplies. 

Read on for their tips on what fabrics make for the best summer sewing supplies:

• Cotton: Keep it simple with plain cotton garments. Cotton scores high in terms of breathability and is also very lightweight. This durable fabric can be machine-washed without a problem, making it easy to nix summer stains from sweaty days to ice cream cones gone rouge.
• Linen: Like cotton, linen is a natural fiber that is both breathable and lightweight. Another pro? It dries quickly when it gets damp, making it the perfect option for sunny days at the seaside. The one drawback to linen is that it wrinkles easily.
• Silk: Yet another natural fiber, silk has a more elegant look to it than linen or cotton—however, it’s also less breathable. It’s still a perfect pick for cool summer evenings.
