Semi-sheer Organza Fabric is popular because of its delicate beauty. Once made only from silk, Organza is now available in nylon.
This gorgeous fabric is wonderful for overskirts on evening gowns, bridal gowns, and little girls’ formal dresses. It has a heavenly, dreamy quality. Imagine it as the overskirt for a Quinceañera dress!
This is the perfect fabric for sleeves in bridal gowns, Quinceañera dresses, and evening wear when you want a semi-sheer look. Yokes and wide-shoulder straps also look lovely in Organza.
Because of its sheerness, it is also very attractive as bows for special occasion decorating. Bunch it up or layer it over a solid table cloth for wedding reception tables.
This fine material is recommended for people with intermediate and advanced sewing skills. Use a size 9 or 11 machine needle, and always remember to begin your project with a new needle in order to prevent skipped stitches. Using a straight stitch plate on your sewing machine is helpful when sewing sheer fabrics. The narrow hole in a straight stitch plate helps prevent the fabric from being caught in the feed dogs.
Organza Fabric comes is several colors. Choose a traditional pastel or a darker shade. Whatever color you chose, you are sure to love its charm!
