Fused Plastic Bags

I have tried fusing plastic bags a couple times. I learned of it from etsy labs and I've since seen it in a few other places. It's so easy. I experimented a little before trying it for real... just to be certain I wasn't going to set the house on fire.

my first attempt


and my second


My sewing skills are very rusty, but they came together okay. I can't believe how strong they are.

To polish my sewing, I want to get a couple books:

Bend-the-Rules Sewing by Amy Karol
Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing
and Amy Butler's In Stitches
