Access All Accessories / Re: Nappy bag

@jk1066 I’ve read about using car interlineing  for bag support on a FB bagmakers group.

You can find it on eBay and if you are prepared to buy a large piece it works out much cheaper than the various things usually sold for bag stiffening.

I suppose it’s not worth it if you only plan to make one bag but is soon cost effective if you are going to make several.

I made a coatigan, my then 3yo DGS took one look and said ‘Is that you new dressing gown Grandma?’

Funny, I went right off it after that :S

I seem to remember someone made a rather nice tote bag with sashiko embroidery.  I wonder who it was? :ninja:

Isn’t it a lovely feeling when someone non family really loves what you make.

I’m sewing a handbag as we speak so won’t enter that but I did think of making a matching tote.

Off to watch tutorials.

if you are looking for clothing and don't mind PDFs, Puperita patterns are lovely.

Since they were recommended by @Acorn, I've made several for my GD with great success.

I often do this

Its quick to make up and is very useful as a wrap etc.

Alternatively bandana bibs or one of those fabric boxes everyone seems to be making for bits and bobs.
