I run a sewing business and use this to create product labels for my brand. I print with my HP ink jet (pigment ink does not wash out) and cut them out myself. This saves a ton of money over buying pre-made labels from a vendor. Things to know: 1) I pre-wash in warm water and dry partly in the dryer. I finish drying with an iron. IT DOES SHRINK! I know everyone says it does not shrink, but each time I wash my 8.5" x 11" pieces they end up closer to 8" x 10.5". Just beware! 2) If you have trouble feeding it through your printer, try pre-washing it. This softens the product making it easier for the printer to feed. Pre-washing made all the difference for me! Also, if you want maximum leather-look, crumple, crumple, crumple before you wash and again before you dry! I love the look and so do my customers! Review: this stuff is amazing. single layer, w/some craftiness, makes a great thin-vegan-leather stationary - this stuff is amazing. A single layer of this, with some craftiness, makes a great thin-vegan-leather-feeling "everbook"/binder/folder

So much fun!!
I made a bag on my home machine which couldn't handle leather and suddenly I'm back in bag mode. You can best this stuff up. Dye it. Sandpaper it. Whatever. One note - Keep your stitches far enough apart to prevent the Kraft-tex from being compromised. Love love this stuff.

Love this product. Been using specifically to create folios to house pictures (a la scrapbook style) and I can tell these will be far more durable then what I've created in the past. Very easy to work with - must use glue instead of double-sided tape, but everything else works beautifully - paints, pens, gelatos, inks. Would definitely recommend. Much more economical in the bolt if you're doing a lot of crafting.

This does not look much like leather, but it doesn't really look like paper either
created a bag and used this as the top band and straps. It was easy to sew through but it is so stiff I would seriously think about doing this again as the stitching was so misshapen by this product not being very flexible that I glued a ribbon over the exposed stitching on the band and called it a design feature. I read the project and have no idea how they were able to turn and bend and sew a messenger bag. I am waiting to see how this wears, but I already have other uses in mind for this product.

This is great stuff
I don't know if I should refer to it as paper or fabric, but it is great. Cuts easily. Sews easily. Be sure to glue your seam before sewing.

Se travaille très facilement, et est très résistant, une porte-cartes en une heure et très économique, pour 1 euro. Je découvre chaque fois une nouvelle utilisation. Bon rapport qualité - prix.

Producto para un tipo de uso especial, es muy parecido a las etiquetas de pantalón vaquero, se puede dibujar con pinturas permeables y luego lavarlo tranquilamente. Se puedo arrugar y dar efecto diferente.Compra satisfactoria Para coserlo sin problema

Ich liebe Kraft-Tex, besonders für Journal-Einbände. Leicht zu bedrucken, bemalen, bekleben und zu nähen und dann auch noch wirklich haltbar. Ich wünschte, über Amazon liessen sich weitere Farben bestellen.

Strong, Flexible & Durable. A Joy to work with & makes fantastic Covers for Journals/Junk Journals that are built to last. Very easy to alter with Distress Stains/Sprays/Paints/Inks etc or distress/varnish/decoupage etc. Bought this on Amazon Prime for a good price when You take the speedy free delivery into account but I was appalled at the excessive & ridiculous amount of packaging used by Amazon to send this. I could literally almost stand up inside the box it came in! This was through no fault of Kraft-Tex but I wanted to urge others to leave feedback about this to Amazon as it is so bad for the Planet & Wildlife if sent to People who don't Recycle. I also urge Everyone to Recycle especially plastic such as bubble wrap. It's one of the Number 1 Killers of all Marine Life including Dolphins & Turtles.

Order arrived quickly and in perfect condition. This Kraft-tex stuff is amazing. I love it. I used it to make a hardcover book. I printed the cover picture on the Kraft-tex with my laser printer. Then I wadded it all up and ironed it back out, and it looks like a nice, crinkled leather. I glued it to some chipboard for stiffness, and the book looks great. It much cooler looking than any of the scrapbooking paper I've tried.
