Come gather 'round, kids, let's play a game,
Of fabrics and patterns, all in a frame.
We'll learn about materials, soft and rough,
And weave a tale that'll be enough.

First up, we have pointelle, so fine and light,
Perfect for summer, when the sun is bright.
Next is poplin, crisp and smooth,
Great for shirts, so you can groove.

Jersey is stretchy, soft, and comfy,
Perfect for lounging, or playing chummy.
Moleskin is warm, and oh-so-soft,
For snuggling on cold days, quite aloft.

Heather is a fabric that's speckled with threads,
It's cozy and warm, it covers your heads.
Terry is a fabric that's fluffy and thick,
It's absorbent and soft, it's quite a trick.

Plisse is pleated, with folds and waves,
It's elegant and fancy, it's what a lady craves.
Oxford is sturdy, and can take some wear,
It's great for school uniforms, so they don't tear.

Plaid is a pattern of squares and lines,
It's fun and funky, it's what's in line.
Pinstripe is a pattern of thin, straight lines,
It's formal and classic, it sure shines.

Jacquard is a pattern of raised designs,
It's intricate and fancy, it's quite divine.
Pique is a fabric with raised cords or bumps,
It's stylish and fancy, it's what a princess wants.

So there you have it, kids, all these fabrics and patterns,
You can choose what you like, to wear in your adventures.
