Always Neat, Never Wrinkled
The padded texture of quilted bags keeps them wrinkle-free, ensuring they always look polished and presentable without the hassle of ironing.
This is the first sample of my new bag patterns, crafted using heavyweight fabric and Decovil light interfacing. Completing this reminded me of why I adore quilted bags!
For my next versions, I experimented with quilt-weight fabric, some heavyweight materials, and foam to create a mix of texture and structure.
For some designs, foam works better than batting, and it is what I used for these bags.
I love so much these pretty little things!

Most quilted bags are machine-washable and maintain their shape and beauty after cleaning. They’re a practical choice for recipients who value convenience.
