I've never worked with silk organza for the simple reason that I could never find it in fabric shops here. I used my iron on the silk setting on this organza and had no problem with melting.<BR/>The more important issue you're having, I think, is darts: I always sew separately darts in the fashion fabric and in the underlining. Then I do one of the two things: 1) I cut the darts and separate them, pressing them open; 2) I don't cut the darts but I press them in the opposite direction as compared to the fashion fabric (fabric darts are pressed towards the center seam, underlining darts are pressed towards the side seams). Hope that helps! Good luckLauraLohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09450981301329994368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640672985810558308.post-62803990098541204952008-01-31T18:52:00.000-08:002008-01-31T18:52:00.000-08:00Thanks for this post.

What about darts? Since we're treating the fashion fabric and organza as one,do I sandwich the organza into the dart (I had trouble with this as the organza didn't want to fold easily) or do you sew the darts separately and then lay them against each other? Your sewing is amazing and you make it look so effortless! Sorry this is so long, I hope you have a chance to reply!laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174697892947430149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640672985810558308.post-84985407024583059592008-01-31T07:56:00.000-08:002008-01-31T07:56:00.000-08:00Laura, when you come back you always come back wit...Laura, when you come back you always come back with such a beautful collection.

I think that your appreciation will totally restore my sewing mojo. <BR/>And so many new (or delurking) people at my blog, welcome everybody!<BR/>Regarding the knit lining, I only found it in one fabric shop here in Bucharest. We call it here "Milanese" (don't know why) but I remember it very well from my childhood - it was used for RTW slips and camis. I found it on a site as well - http://www.elingeria.de/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=40_50&products_id=158 - seems to be what I use if I look at the photo, it is called "nylon sheer" and it is sold as lining for bra cups.

I recently took Shannon Giffords stitch and flip class and I really like how the method attaches the lining at all the seams, like an underlining, but more finished looking, like a lining.Nancy Winninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291320098379550586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640672985810558308.post-57171942560568728172008-01-29T17:12:00.000-08:002008-01-29T17:12:00.000-08:00Beautiful.
