open source constructionPosted September 26th

I started my project with this make magazine project. In the video you learn how to make a type of fabric from plastic bags. I was interested in a "new" material that can be constructed from a commonly available material with one simple tool (the iron).What was disappointing about their vlog was that the fabric, after being made, was sewn together. The power of this material seemed to be its ability to fuse infinitely with the application of heat. Why not just make seams the same way you make the material, by heating it up?
