How to clean and work with vintage kimono fabrics
Hi: I was lucky to buy some gorgeous vintage silk kimono fabrics circa1960/70's, really cheap on line. I am hoping to use them to make some quilts. What would be the best and easiest way to clean these beautiful silks? Also,I am wondering if I need to steam or iron the fabrics before I work with them. If I have not sewn with silk. Would you suggest I take an online class to teach me how to sew silk? Or is it pretty easy? Thanks for your assistance. I have been chicken to do anything with these fabrics except admire them. Kathy
