Quintessential acetate lining in taupe and mocha, deadstock from an LA designer. Acetate makes a perfect lining fabric, traditionally used in men's tailoring, similar to rayon. Silky smooth on both sides, with a cool firm hand and light drape. Right for jacket, coat, and vest lining. I make underlayers of lining fabric to layer under tunics and t-shirts. Acetate is an old-school fabric, man-made from cellulose, a natural material.

An abstract geometry of line and subtle curve in shades of metallic copper, gold and black printed on chocolate brown panne velvet. A type of crushed velvet, panne is produced by forcing the pile in a single direction by applying heavy pressure. Lightweight with a flat velvety surface, silky smooth on the back side, a luxurious hand, fluid drape with crosswise stretch and excellent recovery. One-way print with a 21" repeat, cut for nap. A fabric to dress up or down; right for a top, t-shirt, dress, skirt, cardigan, hoodie, jacket, kimono or soft pants. Perfect for adding a shot of color and pattern.
Sewing & Pressing Tips:
Mark with tailor’s tacks. I use embroidery thread for this as it does not pull out easily. Take one stitch through the fabric leaving ¾” tails. One stitch only. Then gently separate the layers and clip the threads. Or, mark with a dressmaker’s pencil, making a dot at each marking. I lick the pencil to give it a bit more color and lasting power. The biggest sewing challenge is to keep the fabric from shifting as you sew. My preferred method is to use a walking foot in combination with spray adhesive like 505 Spray. Cover your work surface with paper, and carefully mask off the seam allowance with paper. Spray a light consistent amount of spray within the seam allowance, then carefully line up the edges, right sides together and stitch. This is quick and works beautifully. It is a little-known secret of couture houses that for years the seamstresses have relied on similar spray adhesives for just this purpose.
Pressing: Keep a light hand, use a LOT of steam, and use a clapper.
Sibling with Veneto Panne Velvet.
Care: wash/dry gentle/delicate.

Devoré is a fabric technique particularly used on velvet, where a mixed-fiber material undergoes a chemical process to create a semi-transparent pattern against more solidly woven fabric. Devoré comes from the French verb dévorer, meaning literally to devour.
Sewing & Pressing Tips:
Mark with tailor’s tacks. I use embroidery thread for this as it does not pull out easily. Take one stitch through the fabric leaving 3⁄4” tails. One stitch only. Then gently separate the layers and clip the threads. OR...mark with a dressmaker’s pencil, making a dot at each marking. I lick the pencil to give it a bit more color and lasting power.
