Cloth Sublimatik: novelties for hobbying and decorations
Cimmino’s catalogue presents a new fabric, Panno Sublimatik: a lightweight needle punch with patterned prints, used for creative hobbies, patchwork and decorations, as well as the creation of small accessories such as bags and cases. Needle punched fabric is a type of felt formed with very thin threads pressed together, composed mainly of synthetic fibers (in this case 100% polyester) and obtained through a special mechanical needle treatment. It is therefore a non-woven fabric (TNT), that is, with a texture similar to a fabric but obtained with processes other than weaving (weft and warp crossing by loom) and knitting. Its characteristics are: resistance to both lower and higher temperatures and a particular softness to the touch. This type of fabric is safe and environmentally friendly, so ideal for making children’s creations. For example, you can make beautiful dream catchers for the fabric cradle. Each fabric does not fade and is easy to work with.
How to make patchwork accessories with the Sublimatik Cloth
Sewing is a creative art and one of its greatest expressions is reflected in patchwork, an American technique that consists in the combination of multiple fabrics of different textures and colors. Among the various styles of the patchwork technique there is the biscuit, also called “puff patchwork”, with which to make soft creations such as pillows. Everything you need can be summarized in: a sewing machine, pins, scissors, a neutral fabric of white color, four or more fabrics of different patterns and colors, cotton wool for stuffing.
Sublimatik cloth can be ordered in the colors of pink, light blue, lilac, beige and yellow. The available patterns are particularly suitable for children: we have patterns in hearts, polka dots, with stars and bows.
The colored fabric should be cut into squares of equal size, depending on your taste: they can be 10×10 cm or 12×12 cm. Pins should be placed at the upper corners of the colored fabric and at the lower corners of the white fabric: form small folds in the middle of each of the 3 sides on 4 of each square and Fermatele with a pin. Sew these 3 sides with the sewing machine making sure to leave at least 3 mm as the seam allowance. Insert the wadding in the side of the square left free and sew it also.

The new fabric selected by Manifattura Foderami Cimmino is polyester, with patterned prints and bright colors inspired by the South Korean television series Squid Game. The series, which has enjoyed worldwide success, consists of nine episodes and tells the story of a group of people involved in a deadly survival game.
Up for grabs are 45.6 billion won, or about 33 million euros, for the one person who will have the good fortune to stay alive and win every challenge.
The activities that participants have to take part in are simply a reproduction of famous games for children, some also known by us Western, as “A two three star” with the now iconic Child robot, and others more popular in Korea as “the game of caramel”, the second challenge that the characters are forced to face. The game consists in being able to extract a shape from a caramel cookie, using a simple pin. In Korea they are called dalgona and are typical sweets of Korean street food, simply composed of sugar and baking soda.
Squid Game’s influence in mass culture: printed fabrics dedicated to the South Korean series
The enormous robot child, apparently harmless but revealed to be a ruthless weapon, immediately became one of the symbols of the television series, so much so that it is also one of the subjects of the printed fabric Korea. The fabric, in addition to the appearance of the doll, also shows the geometric symbolsthat appear on the masks of the guards. These represent some letters of the Korean alphabet: the circle corresponds to the “O”, the triangle is a part of the “J” and, finally, the square is the equivalent of the letter “M”. Put together, these three letters form the initials of the “game of the squid”, or the final challenge that the survivors will be forced to face in order to win the rich prize money: Ojingeo Geim. The other printed fabric depicts the shapes of the caramel cookies: a star, an umbrella, a circle and a triangle.
