Striking purple, sand and white double ikat forms a graceful grid of diamond shapes in a hand-woven cotton from India that is naturally blurry in a charming way. Some of the most interesting and soulful fabrics are coming out of India today where textile traditions continue. Double Ikat is a technique in which both warp and the weft are resist-dyed prior to weaving, so it it is the most difficult to make and more expensive. Mid/light weight, opaque with a lightly textured appealing cool hand, 4½" repeat and airy drape. The weight is right for a tunic, shirt, light jacket, vest, dress, skirt or soft pants.

Pre-treat by wash/dry gentle. After sewing wash gentle and air dry.

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.

Gorgeous black, white and gray plaid in a fine quality silk chiffon. Lightweight, semi-sheer, with a soft, airy, fluid drape and 6" repeat. To line or not, depending on the style, right for a dress, shirt, shrug, tunic, skirt, kimono, caftan, scarf or shawl. 

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.

Dry clean. If you want to hand launder, dip in cool water and air dry. Test a swatch first. Do nor put in the dryer unless you want it to shrink.
