When I make something with fusible flex foam and I have a a seam joining two pieces I use a strip of SF101 over the seam before I fuse it to the foam. This helps prevent that weird tunnel that forms when the bag is flexed because there is an empty space underneath the seam because the foam only adheres to the outer edge of the pressed open seam.
First time viewer - you had so many great tips. I get so confused with all the different interfacings - fusible, non-fusible, foam, etc! Your explanations & suggestions were very helpful! Thank You!
Very helpful session, although I got a little lost on which piece goes on when. This is my biggest struggle. I'm a very visual learner. I'll watch again and write them down. I haven't made enough bags to have it memorized yet. Thank you for a great session!
@@SewHungryHippie it's actually the order of the pieces such as exterior and lining that I get confused. I paid more attention today and finished another bag! Thank you!
@@marykaull8141 Great idea! I'm going to make notes on my pattern for next time. I hope someday I can sew them faster and not need to take something apart😃
Thank you for this! I’m new to bag making and am learning so much but still have a long ways to go. I’m planning on making a tote for a coworker that combines quilting cotton, a cotton/linen/canvas panel (pictures of her doggies that’s been transferred to the fabric), and a canvas base. Should I piece everything together first then add the woven interfacing and stabilizer (I’m wanting to try Decovil light), or should I add the interfacing and stabilizer to each piece before sewing them together? And can I keep the Decovil light in the seam allowance? I have a Juki TL18. Thank you for any tips you can give me! Edited to add that you might have mostly answered my question in this video….
Hi Donna, 808 is Craft Fuse - a little more papery feeling. Pellon 809 is what I call for in the pattern, it works well for a crisp finish without bulk. Hope this helps & thanks for asking!
Hi and thanks for sharing your time and knowledge. Are nylon zippers the same as coil zippers? Every sews over zippers and I’m terrified of breaking a needle, that’s why I haven’t been able to make zipper pouches 😢

Awesome! Thank you!
Catching the replay. So many great tips for making zip pouches & about interfacing, thank you Natalie! Love this fabric & vinyl combo, just beautiful.

This is such a fun looking pouch.
I have never worked with vinyl and you make it look really easy
It is easy with the right tools! :D

SF101 on first, then the other interfacing- whatever you choose. I think you have my pattern right?
@@SewHungryHippie it's actually the order of the pieces such as exterior and lining that I get confused. I paid more attention today and finished another bag! Thank you!
Thanks Natalie! This video has given me the confidence to start making the pouch kits that I have purchased from you.
I had to draw myself a picture in the pattern and I still struggle every time with the part where you repeat the steps. Don’t sweat it.

Great tips, Thank you 🤩👍🏻😍!!!

The Juki can handle anything, so I would keep the interfacing in the seams if it were me.
@@SewHungryHippie I ended up doing just that and it worked great! Thank you!
But thank you so very much love your youtube
So nice of you to say! Thank you so much for watching!
Can you please link the zipper you said was good for beginners? TIA

You can always hand crank over zipper teeth if you're nervous.
@@SewHungryHippie thanks!!
Awe, I just saw a photo of the recent bag I made😊
YES!!! It's gorg!
I was not putting the zipper tab all the way in the zipper. Even though everything was cut correctly.
Was Sf101 used on lining fabric? Isn't it fusible?
Sf101 is used as well as other interfacings. Yes SF101 is fusible.
do I topstitch vinyl to fab. on front panel

What kind of l
Iron do you use?
I LOVE my Oliso! sewhungryhippie.com/products/oliso-mini-iron
How do you know what interface to use on fabrics
Whenever you want it to have more stability, interface. I ALMOST always do - and just vary my materials according to how I want it to feel.
@@SewHungryHippie thank you so much for responding
Where do you get your zippers?
In my shop. Sewhungryhippie.com
Can I use 1/8 DST ?
YES!
Thanks !!
