You will need:
Approx. 31X19.5 inches of fabric for 1 play silk. Or more if you want a few different colors. But you can customize and make them whatever size you feel is right. I thought making mine rectangular would make them the most versatile.
Thread
Scissors
Sewing machine
Pins
These are the fabrics I chose for this project. Very Princessy, perfect for the Princess. |
2. Using the larger zig zag setting on your machine, sew all the way around the edges, right on the fold. I was super excited because it was my first time using the zig zag setting, and it worked! I didn't screw it up! Phew! You can just sew a straight line, but the zig zag ensures that it doesn't unravel so easily. Since I expect these things to be played with for years to come, I wanted them to be ready for the job.
This purple fabric looks terrible in pictures; it is much prettier in person. |
See the zig zag? I'm so glad I got that to work. |
Here is a play silk being used as a "veil". |
And here it is as a "shawl". |
Have fun dreaming up new ways for your little one to use their play silks. They can even be used for boy's imaginary play. Hello, a parachute for the army guys?
Happy crafting everyone!
