I'm bored so let me distract you

I am just wander a few blogs and I found this interesting posting. It is about making stronger fabric from old thin carrier bags. I think this could be a fun material to work with in quilting, but then I have been considering the possibilities of plastic for a while. It doesn't fray you see so I thought it might come in handy. If you do make anything from it I would love to hear about it.

    That is a neat idea! So many possibilities.

    I've cut up plastic bags into twine and used them for knitting with: not the easiest yarn to work with, and I've never finished a whole bag. For this, the thicker plastic bags are better.

    Hmm, you could make the main part of a bag using this method here, and then make a strap with plaited bag yarn.

    Thanks for the link to the fusing plastic bags. Interesting idea! Might be cool holiday gifts -
