Hello. My name's Liz Plummer and I'm a Textile Artist. I love the texture of fabric. I love dyeing it and painting it and stitching into it. This blog is about the influences on my work, inspiration, my daily life, and the processes of creating. Enjoy!

Tyvek is catching on!I’m sitting here reading the Guardian magazine at the moment. And there in the middle was a feature about a jacket made of Tyvek! You can read it online too. Quilting is obviously the wrong branch of fabric design to be in… the jacket, which looks like nothing more than a glorified cagoule, is £260! 2 comments to Tyvek is catching on! |

Hi Liz. you could make a quilted Tyvek woman’s jacket with embroidery on and patches with the heatgun technique. I’m sure you could charge more that £260 for one of those.(smile)
My dad worked for DuPont, in one of the plants that made Tyvek. I was accident prone and I remember visiting the plant (1970?) and receiving a piece of Tyvek that said on it “Are you accident prone… cause if you can rip this, it’s an accident”! I never thought that perhaps, over 30 years later, I might be wearing the stuff.
