Organza

These are obviously the same piece of fabric....couldn't decide which to print...so...chose both! The fabric shows up better with more than one layer so it is folded over. It turned out great...I can see this in a jacket or sarong (not on me!) or many other things.

I have to tell you that I did something today that I try to avoid...just forgot. I washed and dried this organza along with the raw silk....WRONG!!!! Raw silk should be washed and dried by itself, one piece at a time. It creates the worst lint and it was very attracted to the organza. It took two washings of the organza alone to remove the problem....now it looks great.
And silk organza washes and irons beautifully. I'm tempted to cut out a jacket right now!!!!
