Silk Cotton

I'm doing a math project where i have to make a product not literally make it but find out how much all the items needed costs. I'm trying to "make" about 20 silk leaves. So how much white silk cotton do I need to make 20 leaves? And I need equipment to make them, so what equipment could I use? PLEASE HELP!!!

Silk is a natural protein woven into textiles from larvae from insects mostly a certain type spider.
It is the strongest fiber made. Man has never been able to reproduce this amazing fabric.

Cotton come from a bush that is very stickery. It grows around 3-4 foot tall.

To make 20 silk leafs it would depend on the size of your leaf. I would think a half of a yard of sild would work for you.

Tools: I use a sharp razor one sided blade on a hard flat surface

Jaan J. caters to the needs of those who appreciate quality non silk vegan ties and cotton ties because they do not wear silk for health or ...

I have a beautiful shirt that went out with my business shirts and came back looking dull and drab. It is 55% silk 45% cotton. I assume it was laundered in warm water and starched. Can anything be done to restore the appearance?

You can try rinsing the starch out with cool water, what do you have to lose if you think it's ruined?

I found a great deal on a cotton and silk blend fabric, but didn't ask how to launder it when I bought it. Now I have seven yards of really nice fabric, but want to wash it before I cut it. Now, how do I do that?

I would...cold water, mild detergent (possibly Woolite), gentle cycle and low heat dryer.

For our second anniversary I would like to buy some nice sheets for my husband. I have been looking at about 1000 thread count but most of the ones Im seeing are made of sateen. Im not familiar with this. I read that it is made of cotton and looks like satin. Im concerned about the texture. Id like to know from someone's personal experience, does sateen feel more like silk or cotton? Thanks.

I have some that are 1200 thread count.
They are soft and thick. Very much less like silk and more like cotton. They also hold up very well when they are washed. If you are going to buy some, try looking at overstock.com or Amazon (they also have delivery options if you need them more quickly). I found the best prices on these sites. I ordered mine from Overstock.com and paid under $100 for king size. I have been very happy with them.
I sleep with a ceiling fan, EVERYnight. I found that when I have those sheets on the bed I have a third thin blanket on my bed (between the sheets and comforter). Mainly because my comforter is very thick and it is just too much because my husband is like a heat generator at night.
