Clear blue skies set the tone for our Mood Exclusive Sky Easy Days Metallic Dotted Crinkled Viscose Crepe, bringing the simple beauty of spring to a fresh flower field. The crinkled face, decorated with rows of metallic gold dots, displays the most distinguishable characteristic of a crepe: a grainy and crisp hand. Its rippling drape compliments semi-casual silhouettes as its cool, medium-weight feel is perfect for all climates; airy skirts, a-line sundresses, and workday blouses are just the beginning of what you can make with this fabric! Slightly transparent—a lining may be desired.

Here are a few tips from our sewists to master crepe’s unique texture:

1. Lower the thread tension on your sewing machine to prevent puckering
2. Use a new, fine point needle
3. To prevent slipping during cutting, line up your pieces with the pattern pieces, cut in single layers, and use a rotary cutter or tabletop scissors
4. Be patient and have fun!
