amazing FREE fabric


Just wanted to share my newish discovery with you, for "free Fabric".
You need :
2 x Large sheets of baking or parchment paper
big pile of plastic carrier bags
a iron

On the first sheet of baking paper cut out and layer your
plastic bags, the shop logo's can be used to create your
own message, you will need at about 3/4 layers.
Place the second  sheet of baking paper over the
plastic bags. Using a very hot iron, iron all over
your baking paper. Remove the iron and leave the
paper to cool (do not remove it) as it cools it
start to crackle and lift and you are left with the
"fabric". I made a few wallets (sorry no photos)
its very easy to sew on the sewing machine.
Libby made this sign for her bed room door.
I also thought the fabric would make great
garden bunting, free and water proof !


Enjoyed the sea views over a great cuppa on Saturday.
