This rugged paper looks, feels, and wears like leather, but it cuts, sews, and washes like fabric. Designer kraft-tex is hand-dyed and prewashed, so it arrives soft and lightly crinkled in vibrant color, ready to sew with no break-in. Emerald is a rich, deep green. What's Included This listing is for one roll of Kraft-Tex Designer hand-dyed paper fabric in Emerald, measuring 18.5 inches by 28.5 inches. It ships rolled. The pieces are hand-dyed and hand-cut, so color and exact size may vary slightly. Working With Kraft-Tex Kraft-Tex behaves like a sturdy fabric at the cutting mat and the machine. Cut it with scissors or a rotary cutter and the edges do not fray, so they can be left raw. It sews on a standard machine with a longer stitch and a sharp needle, holds a crease when folded, and needs no interfacing to give a bag or cover its structure. The surface takes paint, ink, rubber stamping, and inkjet printing, which makes it a favorite for mixed-media and bookmaking work. It is used for totes, wallets, belts, book and journal covers, luggage tags, bins, and labels. This roll is prewashed, so it is soft and ready to sew right away, with no need to wash it first. More washing and handling adds further crinkle and a more worn, leather-like character. For a firmer, smoother starting point that you break in yourself, the Original Unwashed kraft-tex rolls are the alternative. Perfect For Bag, wallet, and pouch makers who want a soft, sewable material with body and no interfacing Bookbinders and journal makers who need a foldable cover material that takes ink and stamping Mixed-media artists who paint, print, or stamp on a durable surface Anyone who wants a washable, hard-wearing alternative to leather, ready to sew right away Why You'll Love This Paper Fabric Designer kraft-tex skips the prep and brings color. Each roll is hand-dyed and prewashed, so it arrives soft, lightly crinkled, and ready to cut and sew. More washing only deepens the crinkle and the worn, leather-like feel. It is forgiving to sew. Cut edges stay put without fraying or finishing, folds hold a crease, and a single layer has enough body to shape a bag or a cover without interfacing. A longer stitch length and a sharp needle are usually all that change from sewing cotton. Emerald brings a deep, rich green to a bag or a cover. Between its durability and the way it takes color and print, one roll covers a lot of ground, from a sturdy tote to a stack of journal covers.
