Jazz Blues ITY Knit

2024-05-13T12:57:24-07:00

Vendor: Fabric Merchants
Type: knit
Price: 11.00

Beautiful contemporary abstract in shades of blue from deep navy to aqua with bits of fuschia and bands of stripes on white. Deadstock from a Southern California designer in a microfiber ITY knit. Lightweight, opaque, with crosswise stretch, a smooth silky hand, liquid drape, a 25½" repeat and a bit of rolling at the cut edge. The weight is right for tops or bottoms -- a tunic, t-shirt, loungewear, skirt, soft pants or a dress. Perfect for the classic Diane Von Furstenburg wrap dress.

What is an ITY knit?
ITY means INTERLOCK TWIST YARN and refers to a new process of putting an innovative twist into the yarn that is used for knit fabrics. This is one of the new microfiber (polyester) fabrics and is a darling of the fashion world, so it is showing up in fabric stores. It is all over the place in ready to wear at all price points. In the fabric markets I am seeing it in polyester/microfiber and lycra/spandex jersey prints which have a beautiful drape, lovely soft feel and good stretch and recovery. Another big plus is that it does not pill and the texturing process gives it some breathe-ability. ITY jerseys are easy to cut and sew as they don’t curl and hold a press well. I love them for t-shirts, but they are great for little skirts and knit dresses (think that classic Diane Von Furstenburg wrap dress). The drape and stretch are REALLY good...so I add a bit of extra ease at the side seams and double check the fit before sewing the side seams to be sure the ease is right -- you don’t want this fabric too tight. IYT knits come in incredible prints and colors.

Pre-treat by tossing in the washer and dryer, then wash on gentle and air dry. After sewing, hand launder or machine wash gentle and air dry.

You can toss linen in the dryer if you want all over wrinkles, but always pre test a sample, some fabrics respond well, others not so well. Test Test Test. After laundering hand wash or machine launder gentle and air dry. I like to take my linens out of the laundry while still very wet, hang on a hanger and pull and smooth the seams and hems, allowing the weight of the water to do the work, then touch up with an iron or not.

Butterfly Italian Lace

2024-05-06T14:32:16-07:00

Vendor: ron
Type: lace
Price: 27.50

Gorgeous graceful black and white butterfly lace, fine quality deadstock from Southern California designer Monique L'huillier. A beautiful linen, transparent, supple, lightly textured, lightly dimensional, with a 12½" repeat. It can be fun to layer a lace over an opaque knit or woven for a new effect. Use in a single layer for a simple top or tee and wear a cami underneath, use for a little shrug or an overdress with simple lines.

Stitching over the open spaces in lace and mesh could cause problems. Totally Stable to the rescue. While you can use tissue paper or even computer paper, Totally Stable works like a charm because it is designed as a tear-away for machine embroiderers. It is a fusible too, but I ignore that entirely. One side has a light fusible and is slightly shiny, the other is matte. It comes in white and black. (On a side note, this works beautifully on knits to prevent waffling and rippling). It does not matter which side is up. I cut a batch into 1" strips, place on top of the area to be sewn and stitch away. On a long seam, just overlap the strips. Even works on curves. Curve or cut in sections to fit as Totally Stable is soft and a bit malleable. It tears away easily, does not get caught in the stitching, even with tiny stitches and it sort of dissolves. If some remains in the stitches it is easy to pull out, which is not the case with other papers like computer paper or tissue paper.

Quantity limited.

Pre-treat by machine or hand wash gentle and air dry, and do the same after sewing.
