Description
This rugged paper looks, feels, and wears like leather, but it cuts, sews, and washes like fabric. This Designer sampler is a set of six hand-dyed, prewashed sheets in deep, rich tones: Atlantic Blue, Teal, Alpine Green, Ochre, Terra Cotta, and Bordeaux. Each sheet arrives soft and lightly crinkled, ready to sew, and the 8.5 by 11 inch size is easy to cut, fits a die-cutting machine, and suits small projects, accents, and testing colors across the palette.
What's Included
This listing is for one Kraft-Tex Designer sampler pack: six sheets, one each of Atlantic Blue, Teal, Alpine Green, Ochre, Terra Cotta, and Bordeaux. Each sheet measures 8.5 by 11 inches and is packaged in a bag with an insert. The pieces are hand-dyed, so color may vary slightly from sheet to sheet.
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. The 8.5 by 11 inch sheets fit a die-cutting machine and are sized for journal covers, wallets, pouches, appliqué accents, die-cut shapes, and other small projects.
The sheets are prewashed, so they are soft and ready to sew right away, with no need to wash first. More washing and handling adds further crinkle and a more worn, leather-like character.
Perfect For
- Makers who want to try the full Designer palette before committing to a roll
- Small projects and accents: journal covers, wallets, pouches, appliqué, and die-cut shapes
- Mixed-media artists who paint, print, or stamp on a durable surface
- Anyone who wants a washable, hard-wearing alternative to leather in six coordinated colors
Why You'll Love This Paper Fabric
A sampler is the low-commitment way into Designer kraft-tex. Six deep, rich colors arrive in one pack, already hand-dyed and prewashed, so each sheet is soft, lightly crinkled, and ready to cut and sew.
It is forgiving to work with. Cut edges stay put without fraying or finishing, folds hold a crease, and a single sheet has enough body to shape a cover or a pouch without interfacing. At 8.5 by 11 inches, each sheet fits a die-cutting machine and is an easy size for accents, appliqué, and small makes.
The palette holds together as a set, from Atlantic Blue and Teal through Alpine Green, Ochre, Terra Cotta, and Bordeaux. That makes the pack as useful for color testing as it is for a six-color project, with enough of each sheet for trims, accents, or a small finished piece.
