I bought this pretty vinyl fabric a while ago and since my crossbody bag got busted from too much weight last month I needed to make myself another one. This vinyl is a little different than what I’m used to. I decided to use foam and boy it was stiff. I really could have just used decovil light and it would have been sufficiently stabilized, next time.
I pulled out my waterproof canvas to test out some interfacings that have been sitting around. I am a big fan of fusible fleece and foam interfacing depending on what I am sewing but with canvas I decided to put some decovil light to the test.
Happy New Year! I finally did some sewing for me! I made a sample just to make sure so I didn’t add pockets or hardware to it but I really like the simplicity of it. It’s a keeper. I needed a bag that would fit my iPad and other essentials for me to take to church. My other bag was a little too small. I was also wanting to test out some new interfacing to reduce the bulk to see if it would still stand on it’s own and have some body. I’ve been hoarding cork fabric for a long time so since I have so much of it I thought it would be fitting to pair cork and canvas together.
