Angle Of Repose Silk Woven

A geometry of diamonds, in tones of black, brown and cream accented with palest mint green on a fluid silk crepe de chine, deadstock from a southern California designer. Light weight, opaque with a soft fluid hand, light airy drape and 24½" repeat. Right for a dress, shirt, kimono type jacket, blouse, tunic, skirt, soft pants or lounge wear.

Cut fabrics like this one using paper. Lay down a layer of paper on the cutting table, and trim the ends so they are straight, at right angles to the other edge. This assures that you can line up the grain of the fabric with the edges of the paper. Place the fabric on top, smoothing so the grain is straight... this is key! Then pin the pattern through all layers and cut through all layers. The bottom paper layer keeps the soft fabric from shifting as you cut and allows you to move and mark the pieces without distorting.

Hand launder cool, air dry.
