3 Top bag making tips to help this project run smoothly
- Don't be put off by the lining process, it's not as scary as it seems. Isabel recommends using a cotton lining if you're a beginner as the more satin linings a much tricker. Using a fabric with a definite right and wrong side certainly helps!
- If you've chosen your favourite fabric but it's not quite thick enough, you could try interfacing to provide more structure to your bag. Alternatively, quilting using wadding adds a nice visual touch
- You don't need a special sewing machine to sew this bag. Most machines come with a zipper foot, so you should be good to go. We also recommend grabbing a piece of scrap fabric and running a stitch to determine your needle size. Remember, the thicker the fabric, the thicker the needle.
