<\/a>This is how my adventure with silk dyeing began. I followed the attached leaflet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I didn’t get the expected color, which was supposed to be an intense black, but this is my first attempt. It’s also possible that the silk didn’t accept the dye. Nevertheless, I liked the color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the tests, I noticed that silk glued with double-sided non-woven fabric gives a clean, sharp edge on the cutting line, it does not fray, so it seemed ideal for applique with a sharp edge or for reverse applique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I selected a \u00a0design. Author unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a>On the left side of the pattern, I drew all the lines with a black marker, carefully marking which fields are white and which are black. The more hints, the easier it is to work with later, because it is easy to make a mistake during the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a>I placed a sheet of double-sided non-woven fabric on the drawn pattern and traced all the lines along with the markings on the non-woven paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I glued the silk, in my case it is gray, to the double-sided interlining and ironed it, activating the glue.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a>I cut out the white elements.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a>I placed my white silk on the original pattern, this time on the right side of the pattern and pinned it.<\/p>\n\n\n
