Uses for old silk?
« on: December 28, 2007, 02:56:44 AM »
I have some medium weight silk underwear tops that are in need of retirement.
Anyone got any ideas for what I might be able to do with the remaining silk? I just can't bear the idea of throwing it away. Wait, I guess I could always stitch them together and make a parachute. I'll be needing a test pilot then. Volunteers?  grin

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

After you shine your shoes, run a silk cloth over them to make them glow.

Do you know any BP shooters?  I've heard that silk makes for great patches.

Or you could unweave it and knit yourself a dashing fler's scarf.  grin

stay safe.

Absolutely, and for him I'll be sure to use the "good" thread (wink wink).   grin

Shiny shoes and good BP patches. I KNEW the stuff was still good for something. Guess I'll be buying a BP gun or two now. Can't let the silk go to waste!  angel
