I am finally going to attempt to make this silk tunic (made from a sari). I am absolutely terrified, as you can expect, and I of course have left it way too late. The fabric is super soft, and stupidly mobile.
I am considering making this tunic double layered, as its very see through fabric, and I don't have any lining fabric. I am thinking about cutting two each of the front and back, using the inner layer in place of the facing on the neckline, but cutting the under layer longer, to feature the very wide border at the end of the sari.
So, I am looking for hints on how to deal with this fabric. What needles to use, whether I need to alter tension, would the walking foot help. I am hoping to use the end borders and selvedges as hemlines, to avoid having to hem this super soft fabric. But still, I don't want to pull or snag the fabric.
So hit me with your tips.
