I tried designing with cheap polyester versus deadstock silk for a jacket lining and the difference is insane.

The silk from that little shop in Portland breathes so much better and drapes right, while the poly just felt clammy and stiff after one wear. Has anyone found a good source for small-yardage natural fiber linings that won't break the bank?

Try thrifting silk scarves for lining pieces.

Yeah, I've had great luck cutting up old silk shirts from the thrift store too.
