Do not....

Very pretty!  Have you heard about the gelatine method?  You make up a weak solution of gelatine and water and dip your misbehaving fabric in it, let it dry and then it's slightly less wriggly when you cut it out and sew.  I tried it with some slippery fine silk crepe and it worked very well.  You just rinse it out when done.

My link won't work but if you Google it, there are a couple of recipes online.  HTH.

Your top looks lovely - you do forget how difficult it is to sew with, I know that from experience!

I think that looks lovely! 

The two fabrics I decided to use when I'd literally just learnt how to use a sewing machine?......Lycra and Chiffon

Yep, I'm barmy!!!

Chiffon is like childbirth. You forget the pain when temptation calls.

We should frame this in needlepoint!

I constantly bemoan chiffon after nightmares with ballroom skirt alterations but you're right... I've just bought some to make up the Jalie kimono pattern for me.

I love it too. Cannot imagine trying to match those stripes though. You have a lovely top there, enjoy.
