I am looking for a light weight material to make a banner. I have been recommended Silk Noil as a possible fabric. How sturdy is silk noil as I have never worked with this material. What would you recommend? Needs to not look modern. I have some idea what I am looking for but I am covering all bases. Basically, there is a 6' x 2 1/2'(tapering) embroidered and appliqued banner. It is made of silk and wool. The creator of the banner added an upholstery fringe (allegedly silk) around the edge. This banner is usually carried into battle, so what I am looking into is making a copy so that this beautiful banner won't get trashed. Also because of the fringe and it being top heavy it makes things difficult for the carrier. During a good wind the banner could easily take out someone (either army's personnel, it doesn't discriminate) or wrap itself around the carrier (On the bright side it does make it harder for the opposition army to take it when they have to deal with a body). If I take on the project, I have two weeks to complete it.
