Knowing your fabrics

Do you get frustrated when you purchase a very nice piece of fabric, you cut it out, you start sewing and you come to find out the garment either hangs wrong, or just simple does not look right. In everything I do I want to  put out quality works that means I need to educate and practice, practice, practice. I have put together a list of fabrics that are suggested for your garments.
Just a small example below:

There are several more fabrics to mention but this is just a few to get familiar with.
