Let's Face it (sometimes you want to)

Sometimes a design in casual garments 

is more effective with a facing,

as opposed to

Piped Bias or a simple bias binding.

While casual wear may not require interfacing, 

at times, a light but firm treatment is called for.

Due to the fact that I primarily use natural
fiber fabrics, I always choose a
natural fiber facing or interfacing.
The same applies to applique.

Cotton and linen will be interfaced with
 cotton organdy/organza
and faced with the same fabric or a contrasting
color of the same fabric.

Silk and wool will be interfaced
with silk organdy/organza.
Likewise, the facing is the same fabric, or
a contrasting color of the same fabric.

Why? Cotton and linen are vegetable fibers
and play well together.
Silk and wool are protein fibers and are
equally compatible.

I almost never use an iron-on facing,
interfacing or applique on garments.

Sometimes I will iron on a fusible
applique before stitching it to a quilt.

Fairy Fabric

While linen is lovely, some think of cotton

 as the poor country cousin in the fabric world.

Before falling for that myth, consider

Swiss Fairy Batiste

Drawing of a house placed UNDER pink Swiss Fairy Batiste

and scanned. 

The fabric was actually dyed an

 azalea pink.

 This is the same fabric folded into 4 layers.

The pink offered by Peanut Butter N Jelly Kids is even less vivid.

I can imagine the fabric for Marie Antoinette's
scandalous dress being done in white Fairy Batiste

The fabric is listed on the website under the headings

then 

Swiss Fabric

then

Swiss Batiste. 

Available in white, winter green, pink, blue and ecru.

Fair warning: it isn't cheap - but it is worth every cent. 

And they "pull a thread" before cutting, 

to make sure you get every bit you pay for.
