SILK! Silk in all its forms. [yes I know, silk is the fibre, not the fabric, but bear with me] I love it. The smell, the sound, the shine. Yum.

Yup- sorry little silkworms, I really do love silk!
Oh oh silk… although there is a silk wholesale in my area I often can’t afford it. Though I have often found lovely silk-cotton and silk-wool blends in the past, usually on sale. I got 7 m of a beige-white stripe for under € 20 this spring. So should I ever decide to do an Anglaise, we are all set.. 😉

That shirtwaist!! So lovely! I’d say silk is my second favorite fabric– crisp taffeta has such a delicious sound and feel.

I even love the smell of silk, it smells [to me] like milk…

dunno about that missus, I just love the way it sounds when you cut it, and the way it shines, and the little ‘pock’ sounds when you stitch it. Yum.

Silk is such a nice fabric to sew with. It presses beautifully and best of all comes in all those gorgeous shot colours. I love all the things that you have made with it. Gorgeous. Xx
