Key Benefits
This 19 Momme 100 Percent Mulberry Silk Satin Fabric is a premium, versatile textile designed specifically for delicate sewing projects. Whether you are crafting a girls’ dress, a luxurious pillowcase, or stylish scrunchies and sleep masks, this fabric delivers unmatched softness and a natural, elegant sheen. The 114CM width provides ample material for multiple projects, while the solid color ensures a timeless, high-end finish.
Why choose this silk? Unlike lower-grade silks, the 19 Momme weight offers the perfect balance between durability and drape. It is substantial enough to hold structure in garments yet fluid enough for flowing designs. The breathable, temperature-regulating properties of pure silk make it ideal for beauty accessories like sleep masks and pillowcases, helping to reduce friction on hair and skin, preventing breakage and wrinkles.
As a plain dyed, knitted satin, this fabric features a smooth, lustrous surface on one side and a matte finish on the other. It is gentle on sensitive skin and hypoallergenic, making it a safe choice for children’s clothing. Elevate your DIY creations with the professional-grade quality of 100 Percent mulberry silk.
Experience the Difference
Having worked with various fabrics for years, I can attest that the feel of true 19 Momme silk is unmistakable. The moment you touch it, you notice the cool, smooth surface that immediately signals luxury. It sews beautifully without fraying excessively, and the color saturation after dyeing is deep and rich. This is the fabric you want when the project needs to look bespoke and feel incredible against the skin.
Versatile Project Applications
- For Garments: Create beautiful, breathable dresses, blouses, and skirts that drape elegantly and move with the body.
- For Beauty Sleep: Sew your own pillowcase or sleepmask to wake up with fewer bed-head creases and less skin irritation. Silk’s natural proteins help retain moisture.
- For Hair Accessories: Craft luxurious scrunchies that are gentle on hair, preventing breakage and static.
Real Customer Feedback
“I was hesitant to buy silk online because I worried about the quality, but this fabric exceeded my expectations. The 19 Momme weight is perfect – not too flimsy, not too stiff. I made a dress for my daughter and a matching scrunchie, and she loves how soft it is. The color is vibrant, and it washed beautifully on a delicate cycle. I will definitely be ordering more for pillowcases.”

An Honest Note on Care
While this silk is durable for its weight, remember it is a natural, delicate fiber. You will need to hand wash or use a machine’s delicate cycle with cold water and a gentle detergent. Avoid wringing it out; instead, roll it in a towel to absorb excess water. This small step ensures your creations last for years to come.

FAQ
Is this fabric suitable for a beginner sewer?
Yes, but with a caveat. Silk can be slippery. We recommend using fine, sharp pins and perhaps practicing on a scrap piece first. The 19 Momme weight is easier to handle than lighter silks because it doesn’t shift as much.
Can I use this silk for a baby or toddler’s dress?
Absolutely. This is a great choice for children’s wear due to its breathability and hypoallergenic properties. The 114CM width provides enough fabric for most small dress patterns. To complement this luxurious fabric, consider pairing it with a soft and absorbent Kids Animal Print Microfiber Bath Towel for bath time comfort.
How do I wash the final product?
Hand wash in cold water with a pH-neutral detergent or a specific silk wash. Do not soak for long periods. Rinse thoroughly and dry away from direct sunlight. Iron on a low setting while the fabric is slightly damp or use a steamer.
Will the color fade?
No, because this is a plain dyed fabric using high-quality reactive dyes. It should hold its color well with proper care. However, like all silk, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight and chlorine.
What is the difference between this and a polyester satin?
Polyester satin is plastic-based, non-breathable, and can trap heat, whereas 100 Percent silk is a natural protein fiber. Silk regulates temperature, absorbs moisture, and is much kinder to your hair and skin. For a quick-dry alternative for travel or sports, you might look at the Wholesale Super Absorbent Quick Dry Fitness Towel, but for luxury and skin health, silk is unmatched.
If you are looking for a durable outer layer to protect this delicate silk garment, a Waterproof PU Coating 272 Twill Nylon Oxford Fabric is an excellent choice for creating a stylish and functional jacket.
