Fabric For Bow Tuck?
I have made a Bow Tuck, but would like to know what is the best fabric to use that keeps a true Bow Tuck form to it. I hope I make sense.
Thanks |
I have made several bow tuck bags and I just use cotton fabric. I was thinking of getting some corduroy fabric and trying that.
|
I've just used cotton fabric. If you want it to hold its shape better, maybe use a stiffer interfacing?
|
I have only used cotton fabric so not much help. Mine seem to hold their shape. Happy quilting :)
|
I use regular cotton with fusible fleece. Works just fine.
|
If you use the recommened iron on interfacing it holds its shape. That's the main thing I like about this bag, it's stabiliy. I made a smaller bag according to the directions and if I put anything in it the bottom sags.
|
Home Dec fabric works well as it has more body so I use it on most of my bags now.
|
I like Home Dec fabric for any tote . It is a stiffer fabric and holds shape/form much better. I still use an interfacing for added body.
|
While I have not made Bow Tucks, I have made other hand bags from decorator fabrics. Decorator fabrics have a heavier body and the colors are usually so pretty and vibrant. I have several fabric sample books that were given to me that I use all the time for hand bags. Iron on interfacing would give more body to the project also.
|
When you talk about interfacing, are you talking about the pylon that irons to it? That is what I used on my first bow tuck.
