    I’ve often worried about the insulation of Kasia’s head. Now I feel much better. :)
    That picture of your grandma is lovely.

      You can iron plastic bags to form a thick, waterproof material that can be sewn together like fabric. I’ve tried it a few times, but haven’t mastered it yet. It’s pretty neat though, huh?

      Eventually I’ll have a page on my site dedicated to this technique, but for now you can search for “plastic bag fusing” and find a few good tutorials on this method.

    Heya. Great work my friend! Do you do custom designs? Could you make a more school like backpack with zippers &/or laptop bags with straps

      Hi Daniel.

      I’ve never tried anything with zippers. I’ll definitely let you know if I make anything that resembles a school backpack though! Thanks for the suggestion.
