Satin Fabric

The satin fabric is pleasant to the touch, slightly elastic in width and looks elegant. The front shines gently. You can also use it from the reverse side, which is matte. Satin is suitable for sewing skirts, blouses, formal and wedding dresses. It is also suitable for the pleat technique. Thanks to the fact that it does not crease , you can also sew a "dress into a bag" from it.

We have tried: Satin is slippery material, so it's good to have some experience with its processing. After washing it at the recommended temperature, it did not precipitate or release the colour. We recommend sewing it with size 70 needle and make sure that the needle is not damaged, it could damage the satin. Also, when sewing, be careful not to "pull" the thread. As the satin fades slightly, clean the edges of the cut parts on an overlock sewing machine. We recommend ironing at a low temperature without steam, as this can cause unwanted stains on the fabric.

The fabric measurements needed for sewing basic garments and home textiles, can be found here .

The seamstresses from our sewing workshop have prepared a simple comparison of different types of satin.
