Bless you for bringing these resources together in a list. I just had a bunch of fun showing my Costume Design students how to turn an old Tyvek envelope into an iridescent pustule fabric, an idea I didn't have the day before yesterday.

Funny, just had discussion with my friends to use tyvek yesterday. They said "no" because it's DuPont product, instead we try bees wax or persimmon juice on the canvas for the shopping bag.
