What's your favorite fabric to sew?
Do you have a favorite?
We asked the Sew It Seams Lead Fabriholics what they like, and here's what they said:
"I bet you thought I was
going to say knits . . . but my very favorite is SILK."
– Vicki (Monday's Girl! That's her on the left.)
I fell in love with silk when Nancy Williamson inspired me to sew the Hudson Pant in black silk crepe. I was really hesitant at first, but now love them!
In fact, now I have five pairs of silk pants – plus quite a few other pieces.
Nothing feels like silk. It cuts and sews easily.
I use a rotary cutter, regular polyester thread and a sharp needle and I have never had a problem sewing any kind of silk – even sheers!
And, yes, I machine-wash most of them.
The experts all say you should use the very best fabric you can afford. You'll never be sorry.
