I would consider using polyester thread and not cotton thread when sewing the bags. Because when these bags get recycled again then the cottonthread is a contamination. What do you think?
@m.a.b.4278
@m.a.b.4278 6 жыл бұрын
It would still be a "contamination". Actually almost all plastic bags are polyethylene and wouldn't mix with polyester even if you tried to melt them together. Although maybe you could obtain a composite that would work.

This would be an epic way to make some waterproof jeans. I wonder if there's enough room for it to melt through the fabric. Another idea could be sewing them onto jeans, much like people do with leather (leather on the front of jeans is great for welders) or like when I was in construction my foreman always had patches sewn on his knees for durability and to cushion his old knees without needing kneepads. I'm just thinking I'd 100% rather spend some time and electricity to make myself some rain gear instead of buying some.. Now just imagine a guy out in the rain with a jacket and pants that look like that patchwork bag you showed at the end.. LOL

Question: Would it work to just fuse the seams rather than sewing? I don't see why not, but maybe doing it this way helps avoid a sharp structural weakpoint that could fail? I'm not likely to make tote bags anytime soon, but I'm definitely going to try fusing smaller film into larger pieces, as well as thickening. Seems useful for patching or reeinforcing for example a damaged tarp. Any experience from fusing polypropylene films? I don't think PP is used much in shopping bags, but it's used in many of the sturdier trash bags because it tend to be more resistant to tearing.
