And they always have recommendations on the back of the envelope on what fabric is suitable for the pattern. I use them quite a lot as a base for my sewing. I buy very often sewing patterns from Joann fabrics – McCalls, Simplicity, Butterick, Vogue, New Look, Burda. Is Charmeuse Satin? Is Shantung Satin? Are Shantung and Dupioni the same? Is Crepe de China Satin also? Are Georgette and Chiffon the same thing? Is Duchess Satin a lighter or a heavier kind of Satin? What of them is shiny and what’s not? What is heavier and what is lighter? I googled, I researched, but it just confused me even more…īut we have to know what all these terms mean. I have all of them and can see the dissimilarity.īut I am really puzzled about other types of natural silk fabric like Shantung, Georgette, Crepe, Satin, Habotai, Crepe de Chine, China Silk, Noil, Taffeta, Brocade, Broadcloth, Faille, Duchess Satin, etc. To me, the most distinguished types of silk fabric are Charmeuse, Dupioni, Chiffon, Organza, Raw Silk, Jersey Silk, and Silk Mesh.
Also, floral silk prints are very much in style right now. I prefer to buy pure silk fabric on Amazon, check out this link. But there are plenty of online stores that sell 100% silk. You can’t easily find many kinds of pure silk in fabric stores ( like Joann fabrics in USA and Fabricland in Canada for example) to compare them, touch them and feel the difference. I only recommend products I believe in and use myself. This means I will receive a commission if you order a product through one of my links. Note: Some of the links on this page are affiliate links.
