Ask Kati: DIY Tichels?

Q: Have you ever tried making your own tichels?  Got any advice for people who want to try making their own?

A:  I have yet to make my own tichels, mostly because it's cheaper to buy them and I'm on a tight-ish budget right now.  I'm also afraid that I wouldn't be able to sew on fabric that thin without snagging it.  The fabric is the main thing to consider if you want to make your own tichels.  You'll want a very thin fabric, something like organdy or a silk blend.   If anyone out there decides to make their own, please let me know how it goes and if you have any more tips! :)
