yes! It goves the bag more shape and body.

I'm adding batting to the two I'm working on right now. The next two, I'm going to add pellon. Then, I'll see which ones I like better. Also, will compare prices. The bottom line is this has to be profitable for me, lol.
I do thank everyone for their help. And appreciate any more help. |
I sell my small bags for $30 and larger totes for $50. BUT! I make them out of vintage barkcloth. A large tote may cost me $25.00 in fabric (one yard)> And I use fusible fleece and generally do not quilt it. THere is enough texture and interest in the fabric itself and I don't want to compete.
You might check out Etsy and Artfire and see what the prices look like for different styles. I think on both sites, some are frightfully overpriced, and some underpriced. It depends on your area. Good luck! |

Thanks for all the advice! I did add batting and used vintage fabrics from my mother's stash. I'm planning on selling this size -- 17" x 16" x 5", for $25. I'm also planning on doing some totes with pellon, selling them for $20. Here's a photo:

That is sooo cute! You shouldn't have any trouble selling your bags.
