I think organza was the best match for this particular project since it’s sheer, has lot of body and not much drape. Organza is typically available in several different fibers with most common being silk, nylon and polyester. Silk is the softest while nylon or polyester offer a crisper hand. Mine was nylon which was just great for what I needed and wanted in my curtains.

There are also matte and shimmery types and some are embellished with design motifs making organza perfect to use in formal wear. No matter your choice, these simple tips for sewing with organza will get you through your project successfully!
