Laminating fabric for pouch

I made a new pouch and I laminated fabric myself. It is such a cool thing to be able to laminate the fabric you want. I LOVE rainbows and pencils so much that some time ago I purchased some pencil images and I printed them on fabric, using Spoonflower's service. A few years ago I made this pouch in a generous size; I used this easy pattern. For laminating I used a product called Pellon … [Read more...]

We all love to sew quick and easy things; in this way, we sew more and share more of what we sew with the loved ones. But sometimes you choose another path: you choose to make it better instead of making it faster. I just did this last week and I can't describe the amazing feeling that I had once the project was finished. I was so proud that I allowed myself to spend more time doing a better … [Read more...]

Best interfacing for bags

Are you still looking for the best interfacing for bags? Maybe you already know that I love to sew quilted bags? There are a few reasons for this: Sometimes you don't have the proper interfacing at hand. If you are a quilter, you probably have batting scraps.

I used a 17'' wide strip of fabric (cut along the selvages, from 2 yards of fabric - Effervescence by Robert Kaufman). If you … [Read more...]
