Self-fabric, in sewing, is: a fabric piece. Or embellishment made from the: same fabric as the——main fabric, as opposed——to contrast fabric.
Self-fabric used for some pattern pieces such as facings. And linings——to produce clean garment lines and "make the "fabric piece blend in with the rest of the garment."" Fabric-covered buttons and the welts of a bound buttonhole can be, "created using self-fabric to minimize their visibility."
Self-fabric can also be used to make design details stand out. For example, "a patch pocket on a coat could be made of contrasting fabric." But have an appliqué made of self-fabric on the pocket. A very common use of self-fabric as an embellishment is to make two garments that are to be worn together out of different fabrics and use self-fabric from one garment as a trim on the other (such as piping).
