I have an image in my mind of a floor length trumpet skirt made of upcycled denim. With sashiko and Boro all over! I have a vintage hand crank sewing machine to make my seams with, so it will be made using ZERO electricity! Anddddd I am moving permanently up north soon, and I don't deal well with cold. I have an idea to also make a quilted liner for it that buttons to the inside so it can be removed in warmer months! I have made a pact since becoming disabled to not ever buy any "new" clothes, and make all of my clothes from upcycled materials. Except socks, bras and underwear. And I plan to hand knit lots of socks and thigh high tights also. I'm from the south, the cold is gonna kill me! Layer layer layer!

You can always make a undershirt or a quilted petty coat to wear underneath. Slips are still the best way to reduce wear on you top layer of clothing. I am doing the same but in a much wetter and always humid climate. Since we have no way to close off our house from the weather, winters here are relatively cold and extra soggy for us. I am also using different quilt battings for different layers. No one can see a cotton or wool layer, but you will feel the difference in your bones. Aloha and just keep stitching

Does the silk “Shrink”?... pre-Wash?

DO NOT PULL NEEDLE....push fabric...other than that very informative.

You never gave a variety of fabrics to use. Just one raw silk. Not helpful.
