I don’t have any tips per se about sewing silk but when I did my girls dresses out of satin for their cousin’s wedding, my sewing guru (my mom) told me to use “silk pins” for pinning the fabric together. They have a narrower shaft and sharper point than regular quilting pins so they damage the fabric less.
I'm a 31-year-old stay-at-home mother of two seeking to serve the Lord in all that I do and finding immense satisfaction in making things. Add homeschooling a high-energy preschooler and keeping tabs on a curious toddler to the mix and there's always something interesting going on!

Oooh, thanks! I’ll have to look for some.
