And with fake silk and with other decorator fabrics.
A friend gave me a couple of dozen fabric sample books, which she in turn got from a retiring interior decorator. Some of them are wonderful embroidered silk! The useable pieces are small, after you cut off the glued on cardboard, etc., but since I make mostly minis, I'm doing OK with small pieces. Here are the first three I've made. This one is made with 'faux duponi' samples (100% polyester). I used the back side of the fabric, as it is shinier. [ATTACH=CONFIG]267703[/ATTACH] This one is real silk, embroidered. Great fabric, very tightly woven, very little raveling. [ATTACH=CONFIG]267704[/ATTACH] This is all polyester! The center is 'faux duponi', right side up this time. The outer fabrics are more like upholstery fabric. [ATTACH=CONFIG]267705[/ATTACH] |

How interesting. Was it hard to sew with? I would think the polyester to be slippier than the silk. I especially like the middle one. Thanks for sharing...Little Elise was looking over my shoulder--she says the middle one is "gorgeous" :-) :-) :-)

There is some 100% cotton in some of the books. Haven't gotten to them yet. The silk is so pretty! How old is Elise? |
These are very pretty...
