Now you can buy our beautiful 100% silk organza fabric straight off the bolt, in any yardage you like!
Last month, "Lee" carefully weighed, measured and catalogued every one of the 100-plus bolts of 100% silk organza in our recent estate purchase of traditional Korean silks. Then "Pearl" organized those bolts into five themed color groupings, with coordinating tones in each group and released the multi-half-yard kits that we've all been enjoying since.
Those kits are still available in the Fabric & Trim Kits Section of our Etsy store, and they're still a wonderful way to explore this lovely craft-and-couture fabric.
But now "Pearl" has completed the sales prep for all of those 100-plus bolts by carefully photographing each one under daylight photography lights, with neutral reference points for perfect color reproduction.
So we're happy to announce that as of this morning, by-the-yard listings are posted in our Etsy store that include each and every color.
We know that it can be hard to judge color exactly on screen monitors, especially when you're trying to choose between so many different colors using only the tiny mosaic pictures on a single listing.
So instead of posting all 100-plus colors in a single listing, we've created five by-the-yard listings using the same themed color collections that we created for the pre-cut kits. This allows us to include good size photos of each color (above) along with the every-color mosaics (below).
Here's the Royal Jewels collection:
Here's the Shifting Sands collection:
Here's the In The Pink collection:
Here's the Spring Morning collection:
And here's the Autumn Leaves collection:
We're delighted to be able to offer this gorgeous 100% silk fabric at the near-wholesale price of $11/yard with FREE First Class USPS shipping on all orders over $35 shipped within the United States!
Browse the listings, study the photos, read the color descriptions and pick your favorites. And remember, we have OVER ONE HUNDRED hues, tints and shades across all five of the color groupings, so if you can't find the fabric you are looking for in one listing, be sure to visit the other themed groupings. Shipping is FREE on all US orders over $35, so go ahead and fill your cart from all the different fabric listings. And any patterns you add to your cart count toward that total, too!
But don't wait too long to order. Once a color sells out, it's sold out for good and some colors come in very limited quantities indeed!

Here's a reminder if you're used to working with polyester organza, please forget everything you think you know about this fabric.
Working with 100% silk organza is nothing like working with polyester organza. Silk organza is a lightweight but very crisp and sturdy translucent fabric that doesn't unravel easily, cuts and pins with ordinary sharp tools, runs through the sewing machine like a dream, steams gently into billowing folds or presses absolutely flat like paper. This fabric makes beautiful modern, historical and traditional garments and crafts for dolls or humans like stunning Korean pojagi patchwork quilting and trendy, translucent coats and jackets. It's also the ideal fabric base for couture embellishments like flower making, tambour embroidery, beadwork, lace appliqués and fabric painting or dye stamping.
