Silk Grocery Bag Holder

Do you remember the grocery bag tutorial I did?

Recently, I made another bag holder to give to someone.

I did it the same way as the tutorial, but made it bigger, and with silk fabric.

If you've ever worked with silk, you probably just groaned and decided that I must just have immense determination and sewing skills!

Don't despair! There is a way to make working with silk a lot easier.

Line it!

To do that, I cut out the silk fabric, and then cut some cream cotton to exactly the same size. I then zig-zagged the two fabrics together, and followed the tutorial.

By zig-zagging cotton fabric to the silk, it helps the silk to go through your machine better and it won't fray as much. 

Go on, experiment with silk!
