This isn't a bag tutorial. Please visit my KZbin channel for my bag making tutorials.
Please read the safety information at the bottom before beginning.
The aim of this video is to explain how to use my patterns and introduce some of the main interfacing and stabilisers that I use in bag making. It's not a comprehensive guide, but it shows some of the things I've picked up along the way, including my technique for block fusing. I also compare a few bags with different types of stabilisers to give you an idea of the differences and demonstrate how to pull a zip pull on continuous zipper tape.
My other patterns can be purchased from my website: countrycowdesig...
My Facebook group is now closed to new members. The Teloujay pattern is now only available from my Etsy shop where it is listed for £2.
Please feel free to comment if you have any questions.
Brand names of interfacing & stabilisers discussed in the video:
Medium weight woven interfacing: Vilene G700, Shape-flex SF101, Wovenfuse & Wovenfuse 2.
Medium weight non-woven interfacing: no brand name, easily sourced on ebay or most fabric shops.
Medium loft fusible fleece: Vilene H640, Pellon 987F
Decovil Light - for a "leather like" feel.
Foam: Style-Vil, Bosal, Annie's Soft & Stable.
Ultra-firm stabilisers for bag bases: Peltex 71F/70F/S520 or "ultra-firm sew-in stabiliser".

SAFETY
In this video I use various tools and equipment. Please ensure you only attempt this at home if you are experienced at using the tools and have read and followed the necessary safety instructions provided by the manufacturer of each tool. This video is a very quick overview and I do not cover the full safety precautions in this video. Carry it out at your own risk. I cannot be held accountable for injuries or mistakes made when following this tutorial.
