Paper/Fabric

Soolip recycles scraps from the garment industry in India into a “tree-free” paper made from 100% cotton rag. The 30″x20″-ish pieces are hand screenprinted. The result is a wallpaper-weight fabric/paper that Soolip is selling as gift wrap but I bet it’d work for sewing projects — I’m thinking cards and fabric boxes, maybe even a bag?
