A friend gave me a 3/4 yd. piece of what she thought was Ultra-suede. At first I thought it was velveteen....but after getting it home and examining it....I realized it was probably faux suede.
Nice blue color...the purple is the result of light reflection from my camera.
My in-laws spent a lot of time in Indonesia years ago - Father-in-law's duties were guiding the set up of graduate programs in their universities. I got these metal batik printing plates from my MIL who used them as decor when they returned to the US and I have since done the same.
I had the hare-brained idea to heat one up on my electric stove to emboss the fabric.
What a stinky mess I made. Clearly there was still some dye left on the stamps and yes it did melt the fibers but certainly not evenly...with blotches of whatever was loosened by the heat in the designs.
And now I have a mess on the stamp.....hoping I can get it off without too much work. However, you should see my stove top.......geesh!!!
Time for plan B???
