I had a rest
of cotton-silk black muslin crying at me from my stash. I had used it as a
dress lining but with mitigated results, it is very smooth against the skin,
but does not have a great drape. However, I thought I would use the muslin for
a summer top. In order to get rid of the transparency, I double-layered the
fabric and must admit that the silk gives it a very nice glance.
I used a Simplicity
51-02/2014 which was quite simple and quick to sew. No big adjustments, the
neckline is gathered together with an elastic band and covered by the fabric. I
used French seams everywhere, as even on the double layer, it does not bulk.
Strangely,
I considered this fabric slippery when sewing the simple layer as a lining,
doubled it was obeying like a simple cotton.
The top was
ready in one afternoon, so I could wear it the other day. And it feels so nice
on. In the meantime, I managed to buy some more of this fabric, in dark blue
and dark brown.
