Well when some of the stores were selling it cheap, I was there. I happened to get a couple of the fabrics that wasn't the best quality. One is a plain blue and the other is the black with flowers on it. Well don't you know I want to make a school tote for my 13 year old niece. And this is what the husband and I picked out of my stash to make it. But as I was looking at it, I think it is to thin. My husband asked me why i just can't already use what I have? The other fabrics I have I don't think my niece would like for school. And my husband just doesn't understand why I think I want to buy something else. What should I do? Would it still turn out ok, since it would have interfacing in it. Opions please.

I use fusible fleece inside my totes and it adds a lot of body, I also use it on the lining to and it makes a very sturdy bag. I have used a lot of WalMart Fabrics in making totes and so far have no complaints with this method. I cut the body and lining of the tote, iron on the fusible fleece and then quilt both pieces before assembling the tote.
Hope this helps. |
Yes the pattern says to use fusible interfacing in it. That is the same thing as the fusible fleece isn't it?

fusible interfacing and fusible fleece are different. interfacing is typically a lighter weight than fleece. fleece is really just fusible batting.
you can use fusible fleece instead of fusible interfacing. i, too, use it in all the bags that i make. |
I was going to suggest the heavier fusible to strengthen your fabric. Please post pictures of your totes when you finish them. :lol:
