Sheer Delights

Organdy

Organdy is a very light-weight, crisp, fabric with different degrees of transparency. Made with a plain weave from very tightly twisted single yarns, it is available in silk or cotton. The fabric wrinkles and crushes easily but wrinkles remove easily with an iron. It has crisp to stiff drape that may be gathered, pleated or shirred. The crispness is due to a starch finish that washes out or a permanent crispness due to the addition of chemicals in the case of the Heberlein Organdy. Uses include evening wear, curtains, interfacings, facings, bonnets, fussy children's wear, trims, collars, cuffs, artificial flowers, doll clothes, aprons, millinery, etc.Also excellent for machine embroidery and to create appliqués or cutwork. Organdy has a special crispness that no other fabric can duplicate.

American Cotton Organdy

This organdy has a crisper hand than the Heberlein organdy and is not as transparent. The crispness is from starch so some of its stiffness is lost with laundry but can be stiffened with spray starch. Popular with doll dressers. Very easy to sew and machine embroider. 45" wide

English Cotton Netting (Bobbinette)

This 100% cotton netting is great for machine lace making but don't stop there. It makes stunning overlays and insert panels in Christening gowns, Australian windowpane designs and other special occasion garments. It does shrink so be sure to pre-wash. Also for best results when making your own lace, I recommend Perfect Sew to stabilize it. 40-44" wide
