Creativity by the meter! Swafing’s New Washable, Sewable Leather-Look and Metallic Paper „Kreativpapier“
We love fabric–that’s no secret. But we’re not above pushing the envelope a bit and offering you alternative creative materials. Sewable and even washable paper is now available by the running meter at Swafing.
Handicrafts, stamping, collage, die cutting, even sewing…all this and more is possible with Swafing’s new creative paper.
Swafing creative papers come to you on the roll in two variations: trendy leather-look and shiny metallic. Leather-look paper “1” and creative paper with a metallic finish are both 75 cm wide on the roll; creative paper “2” is 63 cm wide.
Important: Creative papers “1” and “2” are washable. Creative papers with a metallic finish must NOT be washed.
Moistening creative papers will make them easier to work with on your sewing machine. Our metallic finish creative paper should never be washed, however, you may moisten or steam the back of the paper lightly while working with it. You may also crumple and flatten out our creative paper while wet to create an interesting texture.
We hope you enjoy our new creative paper!
MAGIC soft shell Iris
It’s magic! “Iris” is our new, fascinating magic soft shell fabric, that changes colours when wet. Watch the video and see for yourself!
When dry, “Iris” features lovely white stars. But after the rain comes a rainbow! Just add water and watch those pretty white stars transform into a rainbow of colours before your eyes. The stars remain rainbow hued until “Iris” has once again dried. Nano soft shell “Iris” protects the wearer from wind and rain and does not require an extra lining due to the soft fleece reverse. Soft shell “Iris” comes in two colourways: grey with a pink reverse and dark blue with a medium blue reverse – each with white stars that magically transform into little rainbows! Pre-order yours at the Swafing In-House Exhibition. Delivery expected mid-May 2018!
