Tyvek is unbelievably fun to work with! It’s what Airmail bags are made of. Made of synthetic nylon type fibres you can really have a blast with this!! Glue it, paint it, crunch it…heat it up however gently or a lot depending on the effect you want or don’t heat it at all. Have a blast making your own embellishments. You can sew things on to it.
You can paint it with Jacquard paints from Lumiere to Pearl Ex and then heat set it and watch it bubble. You can stain it, crunchy it with other kinds of paints and make book covers, masks…oh my gosh the list grows by the minute!! Sew the beautiful pieces you create onto a wall hanging or bag pocket or the whole bag. Make your own fabulous unique background to a COLLAGE!! Give anything you want a special zing with your own personal flair!
Tyvek has a very lightweight paper-like feel. It is super strong and practically indestructible. Tyvek is machine washable and lay flat to dry.
Can it be sewn?
Of course! Tyvek can be needled easily by machine, but you will probably need to use a thimble when sewing by hand as the material can become quite thick and dense in places once it’s been heated which makes it a little difficult to get a hand needle through.
How do you use it?
For tyvek to contort you need to heat it. You can use a hot air gun (keep your fingers out of the way because it gets really hot) or you can iron it. It only takes a short burst of heat to see results, so begin gently.

Shipping & Delivery
Shipping and Delivery Information
Orders placed before 1pm Monday to Friday are shipped the same day. Orders placed after 1pm Monday to Friday are shipped the next working day.
Please note that during exceptionally busy times (eg Black Friday sales, birthday sales, etc) orders will take longer to ship than usual.
We ship with Royal Mail both in the UK and internationally. Occasionally for international parcels over UPS we may need to ship with UPS or another company.
We charge a flat rate delivery fee of £3.00 for delivery in the UK for orders less than £45.
Orders over £45 for UK delivery qualify for free shipping.
International orders are charged at a flat rate delivery fee of £10 for shipping worldwide.
Next day delivery is available for a flat rate fee of £9.00.
Local orders can be collected. If your postcode is local the 'Local Pickup' option will be available at checkout. When you receive an email saying your order has been completed this is when it is ready for collection. Parcels can be collected Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5pm.
Royal Mail First Class delivery in the UK takes 1-2 working days on average. Royal Mail Second Class delivery in the UK takes 3-5 working days on average.
Royal Mail Next Day Delivery is delivered the next working day before 1pm (some conditions apply).
Royal Mail International Tracked and Signed takes 7-10 days on average. However, parcels are stopped by customs and can take several weeks to clear customs. Your tracking number will be added to your order when it is shipped so you should be able to keep an eye on where your parcel is in the process.
All international orders are NOT charged VAT at checkout and therefore will be stopped at customs and the correct VAT will be charged for your country at that point. We legally have to declare all items in the parcel and the correct invoice total for the parcel.
Please note that this will mean a delay in receiving your parcel as customs can take 1-2 weeks to process a parcel, though it is sometimes faster.
Please contact us via phone on 01253 370190 or email staff@sewhot.co.uk with your order number if your order has not arrived. Please allow up to 10 working days for delivery via Royal Mail, especially during busy periods.
We accept returns of unused, unopened items in saleable condition within 30 days of the order.
We do not accept returns of cut fabric as this has been cut off the bolt specifically for your order.
Please contact us on staff@sewhot.co.uk to let us know if you are returning an item. Return postage is not paid unless the item being returned is faulty or damaged.
General Shipping Information

Combining or Changing Orders
We are always happy to combine, change, or add to orders to help you save on shipping costs.
However, we do ask that you notify us before 12 noon on the day your order is due to ship. After this time it is likely your order will have been packaged and booked for shipping, and we will not be able to change it.
