It's like lining heaven (but the price! WOW!).&nbsp; Going to mosey back over to Ambiance land and pick something nice and suitable.&nbsp; My heart wants turquoise...my brain says get the maroon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-repair-question#post-1186680 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 18:49:05 +0000 abc 1186680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you doing this yourself or having it done? &nbsp;The tailor might have some suggestions as well - might want to check pricing as it might be expensive, I'd imagine. &nbsp;Hopefully you are a seamstress and can DIY! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-repair-question#post-1186662 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 18:33:35 +0000 Alexandra 1186662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends on what you want. Silk charmeuse is luxurious, if a bit on the expensive side, and comes in many solids and prints. For most day-to-day garments, I use Ambiance (rayon). No static, breathes well, and is available in many solid colors (no prints).</p> <p>ETA: some examples of printed silk charmeuse here <a href="http://bandjfabrics.com/fabrics/printed-silk-charmeuse" rel="nofollow">http://bandjfabrics.com/fabric.....-charmeuse</a><br /> Ambiance here <a href="https://www.voguefabricsstore.com/Ambiance-Lining/" rel="nofollow">https://www.voguefabricsstore.com/Ambiance-Lining/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-repair-question#post-1186629 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 18:13:46 +0000 Von 1186629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite leather jacket (a vintage Aigner blazer) has a lining that's hanging on by a thread. I've ignored it as long as I can, but it needs repair badly so that I can wear it a little this spring.&nbsp; I would like to have it redone with something funky and that is me, but I have no idea what I should look for in a fabric for a lining.&nbsp; Does anyone have tips or fabric resources? </p>
