Textile Tuesday: Tyvek

Is anyone else losing track of the days, weeks, months?!

Here just one week late is Textile Tuesday

In The Stitchbook Collective we have been having fun with Tyvek.

Each month we get a pack of goodies to experiment with

It is always a wonderfully exciting moment to open the parcel to see what is inside

Colours I would not usually choose to work with, all carefully chosen and lovingly put together. The kits are still available if you go to the Untangled Threads website, and a pound from the sale of each kit goes to the mental health charity, Mind. So far Helen has raised and donated £2,489.50.

Tyvek is a synthetic fabric that reacts to heat

Creating great bobbly textures

This one was painted with a tester pot of Dulux emulsion before hitting it with the heat gun

Here is the piece of fabric collage I will put on a page in my stitchbook

Now onto the next parcel to open, which is all about felt.
