I don't like sew in, always use fusible and I've had problems with the store bought stuff fusing .. I'm NOT a dealer nor do I sell it .. I'm in Canada and I can't find anything like it so I order it from the US ... I am hoping to try the large bag .. so many possibilities for fabrics .. love your choices on both bags. Wow 5 yds is a lot of interfacing .. guess that's why my fabric of choice is tapestry and heavy drapery. :) I have had this bag for several months and keep taking it out to read it over .. the facing is odd as I don’t see what purpose it serves .. the absolute best interfacing I have used is by Bosal, made in Maine ..

These are cool to carry around. Hopefully, I can have one and finish it the way it is design so I carry my bag with pride. Congrats, to those who've made their own bag like this. @Krista-Poppyprint: Yes, fabric bags are really great choices.

When I mentioned that interfacing-terror dilemma and asked about Steam-A-Seam, she reminded me that that is fusible WEB, not INTERFACING. Two entirely different things. And therefore, I think we have solved part of my problem! But not my confusion...

In fact I bought it right here! :D Both of these bags are super cute!! I have used other patterns by Craft Apple and they are easy to follow. Now I am anxious to get started on making this pattern. I do appreciate her giving us the right to make and sell as well. I bought this pattern and can’t wait to use it. In fact I bought it right here! :D

I will get the information and respond again soon. You are not the only one that breaks into a sweat when thinking about the interfacing...it makes me nervous too. I received some very good tips from Kathy. I think the process is getting better for me. Here is what she said, place your fabric on the ironing board then put the interfacing on top and cover with a pressing cloth, take a squirt bottle and almost soak the cloth. Place your iron on the damp cloth and hold until it is basically dry. Continue until you have ironed the entire piece. I found with this method my interfacing was much improved from the past. I will tell you I still need some practice and it is a continual experiment as to what weight of interfacing to use. I think I will start making notes so I can remember what turned out the best. I just did a bag with interfacing only on the lining and I don't think that was enought. I have also had good luck with sew in interfacing.
