You know how when you get a nice juicy orange, you just have to squeeze every last drop out of it? That's kind of how I feel about some fabrics. Sometimes, you'll get a fabric that is so nice, that you have to use up every last drop. This orange knit was one of those fabrics. Originally, I wanted to make a Fall "on the go" outfit with a tunic, cardigan, leggings and scarf. I ordered 2 yards each of a black/tan striped silk/modal knit, an orange silk/modal knit, a black ponte, and a mesh from FabricMart Fabrics knit sale. I was super curious to see what the silk/modal knits would be like; as I love silk knits for their brilliant colors and I love modal knits for their incredible softness, so the combination of the two seemed like a match made in heaven. Plus, silk is known for providing warmth without weight, so I thought it could be a nice choice going into chilly weather. When I got my order, I debated about whether I should wash the silk...
