    Eleanor, I really enjoyed watching you with your ties. I have only made rugs with mine (polyester) but have saved a boatload of silk ties that I will hopefully get to before I die. Thanks for the inspiration !!!!! ✌🏻♥️

    Beautiful quilts you made out of old useless ties. You are the first person to wash the ties and then use in a project. Thank you, I will start looking around the thrift shops for some old ties to craft.

    Hello from New Zealand Thank you I am finally confident enough to get started. I am so pleased you did this tutorial
    I was not going to wash my pieces first but will do so now
    . Also the interfacing is such a good idea. You know I would have stuffed this up first but now I have seen this i am away .

    Thank you, I have 2 big tubs full of silk ties and you inspired me to finally do something with them. I think I'll save the small, odd-shaped scraps for my Victorian crazy quilting. The lovely calming music is an added bonus to your superior instruction. I also adore your garden, my style exactly. Happy spring, may our creative juices flow !

    Charming and meditative, Eleanor. I came because I wanted to get ideas on how to stabilise fabric from my old ties. I loved your technique of tacking the silk to the interfacing first, then turning it over and bonding it properly from the back. Lovely (to see you at) work!

    Привет из России
    Я тоже из галстуков люблю создавать интересные вещи, косметички, наволочки, шоперы
    Только я их сначала стираю, распускаю, они легко распускаются
    Затем глажу и режу на нужные формы
    Благодарю вас за видео

    Woaw, så beautiful it looks. I have got lots of ties from my brother in polyester and silk. I didn't think I could wash the ties that are made of silk. Now I'm going to wash and sew. Thanks a lot for this video!

    • @diannenaworensky6698
      @diannenaworensky6698 Před 10 měsíci +2

      I use the polyester ties to make rugs. I reduce and braid three ties together. Make a really long snake of braided ties and then start my shape and sew the rows together. The rugs last for years and if they start to get dirty, just spray them with cleaner, rinse, and leave outside to dry on a fence. ✌🏻♥️

    Thank you Eleanor! Yours is the most satisfying tutorial about recycling (actually reinventing) silk ties I have ever seen. Your neat method of cutting and making half square triangles is the one thing I had been looking for up to now. All the best from "sunny" Italy.

    This video is very helpful, thank you. My Dad passed away and I'm trying to turn his clothes and silk ties into memory quilts. Now I feel ready to get started on it.
    Is the quilt able to go through the washing machine when it's all done or will it damage the silk still?

    @phoebediamond8809 Před 2 lety +1

    Eleanor, thank you for making the process of getting ties ready to sew so clear. I'm wondering, I have been collecting silk fabric samples for a while now with the goal of using them in a patchwork project. Since these are not things that have been worn, do I need to go through the washing process or would ironing and adding interfacing to the backs of the samples be adequate? Thanks

  • @irmgardjacob4127
    @irmgardjacob4127 Před rokem +1

    Hello from Canada, love your work! What kind of batting do you use when you make a larger piece? And what kind of backing? I see you are doing big stitch quilting which seems to be the ideal method for holding it all together and adding embellishment.May I ask what kind of thread you use for the hand quilting? Thank you so much.

    • @eleanorbirchellhughes
      @eleanorbirchellhughes  Před rokem +1

      Hi Irmgard, I've only just seen your comment, batting for all my hand quilted projects is 80/20 low loft batting - I don't use any particular brand. The thread I use for sashiko quilting or big stitch quilting is cotton Perle no 8, I hope that helps 🙂

      Good question, I use it to give substance to appliqué, hairbands, and in jewellery making (for necklaces). It can also be used in lapel's on a jacket or coat, collars, anywhere you would normally use a heavy interfacing in dressmaking.
