Using Sheer Fabric In Your Sewing Project

Sheer fabrics are see-through and a popular choice for a variety of applications. They are used for summer clothing, but also beachwear, underwear, and lingerie. Popular options of sheer fabric are organza, chiffon, georgette, and voile. Depending on the fabric type, sheer fabric can be made from cotton, polyester, silk, rayon, viscose, and many other source fibres. If you are considering a project with a sheer fabric and want to learn more about it, be sure to read through Spotlight's comprehensive guide.

Choosing The Right Fabric For Your Project

Chiffon Fabric

Chiffon is a lightweight, sheer and breathable plain woven fabric. It has a subtle shimmer and soft feel, often made from silk, polyester or nylon. Creating an elegant drape, chiffon is best used for wedding dresses, evening wear and blouses.

Georgette Fabric

Georgette is a lightweight, sheer and breathable fabric, made from silk or polyester. It features a dull, matte and crinkly surface. Heavier than chiffon or organza, it still has a fluid drape. Georgette can be best used to make blouses, flowing dresses and bridal wear.

Organza Fabric

Organza is a lightweight, semi-sheer and crisp plain weave fabric, usually made from silk, nylon or polyester. Stiffer and more structured than georgette or chiffon, it can have a more form fitting shape when sewn. Organza can be best used to make evening wear and bridal wear.

Sewing Tips For Sheer & Transparent Fabric

• Check your pattern: When you look at patterns with transparent fabrics, you will notice many intricate choices.
• Hemming: With transparent fabrics, you should always remember that any hems and seams will be quite visible on the material.
• Cutting technique: Place the fabric between some tissue paper or another medium that will add a bit of weight to your fabric. Also, secure the fabric in place, ensuring that the weight remains distributed evenly while you cut.
• Sewing machine adjustments: For transparent fabrics, it is usually recommended to use the finest needle possible. Finer needles are unlikely to create stitches that are too obvious, but also protect the fabric overall.
• Stabilising fabric: It can help to stabilise the fabric with something as simple as tissue paper. Without it, you will find that the fabric easily slips over the sewing table.
• Suitable closures: Look for lightweight closures, such as plastics opposed to metals, if you need a zipper, button or hook. Always use a suitable strengthening interlining for buttons.
