Keep your leather and suede looking its best and get the wrinkles out.

Step 1: Place cloth on
Place butcher paper, grocery bag, or cotton cloth over the wrinkled leather or suede.

Step 2: Heat iron
Turn the iron on low to medium heat, and place the iron onto the bag or cloth. Iron until the wrinkles have smoothed out.

Tip
Be careful not to overheat the fabric. Overheating can cause the garment to burn or become shiny.

Step 3: Hang
Hang up your leather or suede piece in the bathroom, if wrinkles remain. Keep the piece away from the shower, to protect it from any water that may splash out.

Step 4: Run shower
Run a hot shower and let the steam relax the wrinkles.

Step 5: Lay flat
Remove the article from the bathroom and lay it on a flat surface. Smooth out the wrinkles with your hands.

Step 6: Blow-dry the wrinkles
Blow-dry the garment if wrinkles still remain. Make sure to keep the blow-dryer moving to prevent damage to one spot.

Step 7: Store garment
Store the garment in a closet, but don’t fold it or put it in a bag — allowing air to circulate will make it less likely that your garment will wrinkle. Now put on that leather jacket and show it off!

Did You Know?
Studies by the Centers for Disease Control found a higher incidence of leukemia among populations living near tanneries, and other research has shown highly elevated cancer rates among tannery workers.

Last week I happened upon videos about kitchen lithography. It got me very excited! I couldn’t wait to try the process out for myself. But, what occurred to me was that it was the acidic properties of cola that was responsible for the etch. This led me to believe that white vinegar might be a more practical alternative to etch with. Practical in the sense that it’s just as acidic as cola, can be re-used many times, thereby becoming more cost effective. As you can see by the results on the video, the process works equally as well using white vinegar as the etch instead of cola. Here is a list of the materials you’ll need to do the process yourself:

1. Heavy Duty aluminum foil (Use dull side to work on)
2. Gloves
3. Litho crayon
4. Piece of plexi-glass
5. Vegetable oil
6. Paper towels
7. Plastic tub
8. White vinegar
9. Water
10. Etching or relief ink
11. Brayer
12. Sponges
13. Trays for water
14. Paper
15. Spoon or etching press

I plan to try more experiments using white vinegar in the future. Will post more results for you to see.

P.S. I had two semesters of lithography at community college so I know what I’m talking about. (ha ha!)
