Hello again. Today I'm showing you how you can upcycle and process silk ties into usable fabric for projects. In this tutorial, I'll be showing you how to make a cushion cover using half-square triangles. At the end of the video, you can also see the two quilts that were exhibited in 201I8 at the International Festival of Quilts in Birmingham.
