Description

Studio Satin is an 80 GSM, 100% polyester satin, 145cm wide. Long floating yarns catch the light for a glossy face, with a duller, matte reverse. Reach for it when a project needs shine and formal presence. Polyester satin holds its lustre and resists wrinkling far better than silk. Buy it plain by the metre in natural white, or printed to order as the base for any PrintLab design.

What to sew with polyester satin

  • Eveningwear and formal dresses
  • Linings for jackets and coats
  • Costumes and dance wear
  • Sashes, scrunchies and accessories

Satin, crepe de chine or chiffon

For a soft matte drape without the shine, choose Crepe de Chine (65 GSM). For a sheer layer, choose Chiffon (72 GSM). For a satin with a touch of stretch, choose Satin Chiffon (100 GSM, 3.5% spandex).

Printed satin

Print any design from the PrintLab catalogue on Studio Satin by the metre, or upload your own artwork for linings, scarves and costume pieces that carry your own design.

Satin questions

Is it easy to sew? The surface is slippery and the long floats snag easily, so use fine pins, a sharp needle and take your time at the machine.

How should I iron it? Low heat, right side down, with a scrap of cotton between the iron and the satin to protect the sheen.

How do I wash it? Cool, delicate cycle or hand wash. Air dry, or tumble on the lowest setting.

Can I feel it first? Yes. Order a 25 x 25cm swatch from this page, or the Base Fabrics Pack to compare every print base.
