Is it as easy as it looks?

Well as compared to a lot of fabrics used in 'regular sewing' (as opposed to gear making), ripstop is definitely one of the softer fabrics. I'd rank it up there with satins, I guess. When you've sewn everything from bridal gowns to business suits and winter coats, ripstop is 'soft'!!

Not to quibble.... but I have... hehehe. It was still surprising. Not saying your "wrong". Just an interesting difference in terminology. FWIW my professional seamstress wife finds it odd to. But let's not devote any more time to this.

Yes, it's as easy as it looks, but it also takes much longer than you think!
