BagBeginnings
I have learned what works and what doesn't when it comes to making bags. I use fabric that is 100% quality cotton. My preference is the designer fabric such as Michael Miller, Amy Butler and such likes. I use alot of interfacing, some iron-on and some sew-in, for stablity and the best look. For some bags such as the Birdie Sling, I use fusible fleece. This makes a totally different bag with the totes also. I take the time to double top-stitch the handles, around the bag and even the pockets. I use magnetic closures on especially the Frenchy Bag. On the Grommet Bag, I am now experiencing with different handles. I like trying new designs. Keep an eye on this blog for the latest.
