Type: Woven
Price: 14.00

Blue brushstrokes in a graceful abstract shibori feel design on a warm white linen/cotton woven. Light/shirting weight plain weave with a soft cool dry hand, 9" repeat and soft drape. OEKO-TEX® certified. With the addition of cotton, this fabric will just get softer and softer as it is laundered. This is a great choice for a shirt, blouse, dress, soft pant, kimono, loungewear or skirt.

Pre treat by hand laundering or machine wash gentle and air dry. You can toss linen in the dryer if you want all over wrinkles, but always pre test a sample, some fabrics respond well, others not so well. Test Test Test. After laundering hand wash or machine launder gentle and air dry. I like to take my linens out of the laundry while still very wet, hang on a hanger and pull and smooth the seams and hems, allowing the weight of the water to do the work, then touch up with an iron or not.

Daybreak Silk Woven

Vendor: sewbysew
Type: fabric
Price: 18.00

Stunning abstract fades from pastel pink tints to deeper rose tones, printed on a fluid ivory silk crepe de chine, deadstock from a Southern California designer. Lightweight, opaque with a soft fluid hand, light airy drape and 28½" repeat. Ok to cut on either lengthwise or crosswise grain. Right for a dress, shirt, kimono type jacket, blouse, tunic, skirt, soft pants or lounge wear.

Cut fabrics like this one using paper. Lay down a layer of paper on the cutting table, and trim the ends so they are straight, at right angles to the other edge. This assures that you can line up the grain of the fabric with the edges of the paper. Place the fabric on top, smoothing so the grain is straight...this is key! Then pin the pattern through all layers and cut through all layers. The bottom paper layer keeps the soft fabric from shifting as you cut and allows you to move and mark the pieces without distorting.

Hand launder cool, air dry.

Vendor: adel
Type: knit
Price: 10.00

Arty multicolored abstract with circles on stripes in a fine quality black mesh. Deadstock from an LA designer is semi-sheer, soft and drapey with a 7" repeat and crosswise stretch with good recovery. Can be used in a single layer over a cami, in a double layer or lined for a simple top, dress, cardigan or t-shirt. I also use these sheers for sleeves, edgings and trims.

Stitching over the open spaces in lace and mesh could cause problems. Totally Stable to the rescue. While you can use tissue paper or even computer paper, Totally Stable works like a charm because it is designed as a tear-away for machine embroiderers. It is a fusible too, but I ignore that entirely. One side has a light fusible and is slightly shiny, the other is matte. It comes in white and black. (On a side note, this works beautifully on knits to prevent waffling and rippling. It does not matter which side is up. I cut a batch into 1" strips, place on top of the area to be sewn and stitch away. On a long seam, just overlap the strips. Even works on curves. Curve or cut in sections to fit as needed. Totally Stable is soft and a bit malleable. It tears away easily, does not get caught in the stitching, even tiny stitches, it sort of dissolves. If some remains in the stitches it is easy to pull out, which is not the case with other papers like computer paper or tissue paper.

Pre-treat by machine wash gentle and air dry, and do the same after sewing.
