what do you call it when you make a trial version of something with a not so good fabric to see if it's going to fit, before you make it with the good fabric?

A muslin.

I'm a beginner too. I was so happy I knew an answer to a question.

Or a mock-up, trial version, first iteration, whatever you like.
If you are talking about it to non-sewers, other terms are useful to have. They NEVER understand "muslin" without an explanation.

I've heard "test garment" too, another one that non-sewing people would probably understand.

In England where I live, it's called a toile.

Sewing keeps me from falling apart at the seams!

I often use "practice run" for non sewers.
