making my own oilcloth fabric

Have started experimenting making oilcloth fabric today with some success following on from Meanqueens idea of fusing plastic bags together and then creating a unique strong plastic tote.
First I got a scrap of Laura Ashley country furnishing cotton - about 20 years old. Then between sheets of baking parchment I fused a strip of plastic bag to the back of the fabric. I remembered to open the door for ventilation and proceeded with caution as everything gets quite hot - as it can when ironing.
