P1010191.jpg (183099 bytes) New from Japan this year is Shrink  This polyester film can be used either way up.  Place a piece on the back of your fabric and then sew lines.  Hold a steam iron above the shrink and give it a burst of steam.  This will cause the fabric to shrink.  It can be unpicked and res-used.  It creates lovely waves (far right) on sea fabric or ripples on sand (left).  Use it on velvet and create textured cuffs.  Play!

There are two types. The denser shrink will shrink by 30% (e.g. blue fabric) or the filmsy one by 15% (e.g. yellow fabric).  Both cost £12.95 a metre.  Sample pack containing 2 x 10" squares, one of each type available.  £1.80

     Details under Accessories  

GROSGRAIN RIBBONS

I was delighted to track down a reasonably priced source of these great textured ribbons.   I have managed to get the very narrow 3mm ones - available in 26 colours - as well as very narrow ones with a line of stitching down the middle.  The 10mm wide grosgrains have two rows of stitching.  The ribbed effect of these ribbons is great for use in ribbon weaving, on cards etc.  See details under Accessories - Ribbons

ADHESIVE RIBBONS

One of our British ribbon manufacturer's have made me some 7mm metallic gold and silver ribbon with adhesive on the back.  These ribbons stick to fabric as well as card and I am finding them very useful.
