“True Up” means to make balanced, straight, square. In sewing, “true up” means making a piece of fabric true to grain with a well-placed cut or rip.

True Up is a blog devoted to fabric.

Why fabric? Because you’re probably touching some right now, unless you’re a nudist on a tile floor who lacks the common courtesy to keep a towel handy. Despite it being a prevalent part of everyone’s daily lives, currently there are no blogs devoted solely to fabric.

Well, OK, the fabric universe is huge. This blog focuses on fabric for crafting, quilting, apparel, and home decorating. It’s not about sewing, but about fabric for fabric’s sake.

True Up is written by Kim Kight, fabric aficionado. She is an avid fabric collector with a particular interest in midcentury prints. She is also an eager freshman in the self-taught school of surface pattern design. She has been writing about her crafting projects online at Dioramarama since 2004. She is a speech-language pathologist by day with a background as a linguist, writer, editor, and proofreader.
