 Hi Nehzat,  I have some satin fabric and I need to ask you if it could be used to line a skirt.  Would satin be to heavy or bulky?  Also would I need to add some ease to the block pattern?  Thank you once again.  Pat

Re: Lining Using Satin

Dear Pat,

There are different weights for satin. If your satin is heavy you need to use a heavy fabric for the skirt.

I suggest you do a test fitting using muslin. You may like the way it fits, otherwise you can add some ease to your pattern.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
