Wait until you have enough silk shirts to make a parachute. You can use the suade trousers as a make shift chamois for the car.
Oh then pop a post on asking if anyone has any ideas about upcycling a parachute.

"Make yourself a suede handbag with silk lining ! "
That's a brilliant idea.
I was just going to suggest some cushion covers with the suede. I saw some the other day as was very tempted to buy one. You'll need a leather needle, though.

I think I'd need a thing to punch holes too. Cushions is a great idea, I could possibly get a bag and a cushion out of them

That is an excellent idea. My sewing machine won't sew the suede but I could glue or sew by hand."
Absolutely! Just YouTube making a bag from old denim jeans. Denim has to be as tough as suede to stitch/glue |

Parachute from the silk shirts, die the suede trousers blue and make done shoes  |

Don't think that would work, think it's better that the needle is made of metal

Not into suede so that would have to be a chamois but I think you can sew so try this

"Cushions all seems a good make
Ps I love that upcycling show Money for nothing
Yes a cushion or cushions and a bag. I doubt I'll get money though "
They seem to get loads of money for decidedly 'niche' things on that programme. It's my day off guilty pleasure.

I think I'll stitch the seams and glue the bits that fold over on to the lining. |

Why not take what you don't want to a charity shop? I volunteer at one of them, and we get loads of great clothes/ shoes and handbags being brought in to us. Also,for anyone who is starting to transition, it's cheaper to buy from charity shops, and we're also used to having trans/ crossdressers buying from us. |

I've donated two large bags of clothes this weekend. I like the colours of the silk and thectexture of the suede so I'm keeping them. |

To be honest at the start, I imagined 2 fairly average shirts, and some leather trousers.
Now the trousers have become the harness and the shirts a wing for a full size hang glider... imaginary projects are fun |

I thought your imagination was going in a different direction when I read 'harness'.

Makes a change though, usually when my imagination comes into contact with your clothes they are scattered around my bedroom floor |
