Good day!
So we didn't do exactly with you yet, or have someone already tried? From unnecessary polyethylene packages, it turns out very practical and quite suitable for sewing fabric - I have already tried it works. And not only for sewing :) Therefore, I have a hurry to share with you. We will see two master class - using more and less dense packet structure, with relatively smooth fabric and with corrugated texture. Happy viewing!
According to the materials of the sites: dabbled.org and danamadeit.com
So, we will start with the master class proposed by the author of the resource "Dana Made IT". Dana will show us how from plastic packages to create not only fabric, but also sew a practical shopping bag.
Want this? I personally very much :)
So, for the manufacture of fabric from polyethylene packages, we need directly unnecessary packages and some preparation for them. I want to immediately advise - for one type of fabric it is better to take the same packages, do not mix thin and dense, they behave in different ways when heated, the results may be too unpredictable. Although, who knows, it can just like this option for you and will like more :) Although I personally prefer to first work out the technique itself, and then start experiments :)
We also need parchment and iron.
So, cut off the extra details from the packages, we fold the trained parts of each other - the author here 8 layers here, put on the parchment paper, top there is a sheet of paper and go to the iron. Here and the magical turning of boring packages will occur in a decent needlework material :) I immediately want to configure you - it all depends on your iron, someone can get a great heating and on the "twice", and someone will have to use a maximum. The author used the heating temperature for cotton. For me, my maximum was too, there was almost nothing on the "deuce", so I created a cloth for 2.5 somewhere. Therefore, you first try to mood over a small piece, but folded in the volume that is needed to work :)
The photo projects are prettier very sensible, for which the author is much thank you, everything is clearly demonstrated.
And put in between sheets of parchment paper
And this result should turn out
Do so many blanks as needed for subsequent work
Well, go directly to the manufacture of a shopping bag. I tried to make a similar fabric of three thin packages - the structure is chic in density, it turns out, is even more dense, the bag will be very practical. Please note that the author offers a handle to supplement the usual cloth. Well, climbs a beautiful applique to the tone of the fabric for the handles :)
Glitter!
Go to the second version - here the author of DOT uses for the manufacture of fabric bags of confusion, I just didn't quite understand how many layers it put in the parchment - pay attention from such thin packages it turns out a compressed fabric effect. Well, again depends on the temperature - the higher, the more the fabric will shrink :)
The inspiration of the author of this master class - Brooke Helfen successfully trades on Etsy products obtained from such a fabric. Here they are!
Well, I will show you some more unusual use of fabric from polyethylene packages found at the resource etsylabs.blogspot.com
Liked? Then forward and successful package-fabric creativity !!
