Cork Purse handle input/advice sought
Hello all,
I'm making the Harper handbag:
https://www.sewmanycreationsny.com/store/p167/Harper_Handbag.html#/
I intend to make it in cork, and wonder whether I should add any interfacing to the handles (which will be cork)?
Thoughts?
Advice?

I am thinking of making the bag on this page and she gives instructions specifically for making it with cork. There are detailed instructions for making the strap half way down and she doesn't use interfacing.... https://bluecallapatterns.com/blogs/...nia-bowler-bag

Many quilt shops catty it, usually rolled up in a premeasured length. Have also seen it on Amazon.

Native, most of the cork I've seen comes in 17 or 18 inches wide.

I'm glad you asked this, Grmrm. I have decided to do this bag, but it uses vinyl-not cork...so I was wondering the same thing. (I love that bag you're making):

GEMRM... there is a video series on how to make that bag that I'm going to do...It is about 6 hours long. Without the video I wouldn't have attempted it.

Here's another video about cork handles and she doesn't use anything in the middle.... https://sewsweetness.com/2018/11/vid...v=3e8d115eb4b3
She also makes this rolled handle that does have cording on the inside.... https://sewsweetness.com/2018/12/vid...v=3e8d115eb4b3
