Sewists Unite
Sewing With Laminates
We love laminates and Cloud 9 has done a fantastic job of creating these modern unique and colourful laminates. They also start with an excellent quality organic cotton woven fabric.
Thinking about what to make?
You can just cut out a square and use it as a table cloth or placemat (laminates don't fray). Or use a laminate to create a cute rain coat for your favourite little one, or a water resistant toiletries bag with a cute zipper.
Things to keep in mind.
If the fabric gets folded, either in shipping or when you store it, you'll want to press out the folds. We suggest you iron any laminate upside down (plastic side away from the heat) with a tea towel or ironing cloth between the iron and the fabric. Use the lowest heat setting and keep the iron moving. That way you'll remove creases without melting the laminate.
We also suggest that you lengthen your stitch when sewing laminates (or oil cloth) so that you don't accidentally perforate your fabrics!
Think about making something new and different with this fun and interesting textile.
