I cut the sari to make Simplicity 2893, but I realized that the border is not going to work for the collar and the waistband, they really need to be contrasting and plain… so I can't go on until I buy some white silk, which who knows when will happen. The pattern calls for fusible interfacing for both the collar and the waistband, but I'm not so sure, I'm afraid it will make it too stiff, but I've never used any other kind… maybe I'll buy extra fabric to account for possible interfacing disasters.
Another WIP to the pile. I should take a picture of all the projects I have going on.
I just found some nice looking white silk on Etsy if that is any help. Good luck! Can’t wait to see the finished result.
It is helpful. Where? I know there is no way I’m going to make to the garment district any time soon.
Hi Ana,
I have never bought anything from this shop but they have a huge variety of silks. I keep thinking I am going to try some hand dying with them but my to do list is always so long.

Hope that helps,

Me too. I have a sewing basket I have been working on for 3 days. I hope to post the finished goods next week. Keeping my fingers crossed 🙂
