 I am thrilled to be back as a guest at A Vintage Journey and [sew] fortunate to be a part of their 'sew special' challenge.  Always eager to bend rules (semantics on my side); I've used paper fabric - and paper, and fabric - I hope you enjoy my journey.


  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  


You can work the paper fabric by hand to create the worn leathery surface; or you can run it through the washer & dryer (i did a load of towels) and it comes out worn and soft.  The more times you wash this product, the more suede like it becomes. *there is a small amount of material shrinkage that occurs using this method.

  3. My goodness Vicki - what a wonderful framed project! your paper looks so much like leather - love how you sewed it together - so many wonderful details - who would have thought to shear off the edge of the frame and that it would look better that way??!!! - and the tissue tape adds such subtle color to it! A wonderful masculine composition! thank you for sharing your creativity with us at AVJ! Julia xx
