Silk used to be as easy to sew with as cotton, but then we lost our american fabric mills and now we buy it from china. I can't find much that isn't made in china and it is much inferior. But then I am an old lady.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-74026663532059086702013-03-31T10:06:36.628-04:002013-03-31T10:06:36.628-04:00For summer clothing I often use cotton batiste to ...For summer clothing I often use cotton batiste to line or underline - it's lightweight and breathable. It's best with fabrics that have a somewhat crisp hand/drape. <br /><br />I'd say that silk can be warm - it's wonderful in winter. But it breathes, unlike poly. So you won't ever get clammy in silk like you would in poly.Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-12262761124228731372013-03-31T07:33:12.255-04:002013-03-31T07:33:12.255-04:00For jackets I love silk linings because it feels s...For jackets I love silk linings because it feels so nice against my skin although for coats and skirts I like rayon linings because they wear better and don't cling.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04668161467072636784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-26718298585997334272013-03-31T07:19:53.222-04:002013-03-31T07:19:53.222-04:00I never even occurred to me.

I love solk cotton at the moment - for its weight and hand it has a lot of body and it feels so nice. <br />Having said that, for the past 35 years what I have used mostly is the taffeta style polyester lining that is cheap and cheerful. It has way more body than the twill one and is generally cheaper :)<br />BTW, LOVE that jacket. Greg from The Brady Bunch and Keith from The Partridge Family are going to plot to steal it from you, I am sure!!MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-65124263944077789812013-03-30T20:27:03.848-04:002013-03-30T20:27:03.848-04:00I threw a big chunk of lining fabric in the trash ...I threw a big chunk of lining fabric in the trash last year. I never throw away fabric. But this stuff was so cheap and nasty I didn't want a thrifter to buy and it have the same experience. I bought it retail online from fabric.com so I thought it would be okay. Then I spent hours on a custom men's vest with welt pockets for my son's wedding. The lining was a pain to work with, like yours, pulling and shifting....but the worst part was that after the wedding I washed the vest very carefully in cold water (it was a wool tweed) and the lining disintegrated. I still get mad every time I look at it. It's been hanging beside my dryer for over a year cause it's unwearable but I put so much work into it. All because of the lining.
