Hi
I've just discovered bag making - where is the best place to get bag making supplies? Hardware, notions, fabric etc?
And what interfacing is best? I've madd the mia messenger, but I'd like to try the bestie bag and have the noodlehead redwood tote to try.
Thanks
This is a great question! I haven't delved enough into bag making to have a one-stop shop recommendation I'm afraid, hopefully someone else might have a suggestion.
I often use Sew Essential for notions, hardware and the like. For interfacing I believe patterns usually tell you what weight of interfacing to use.
I'm not sure where you live, but in the US I use several. SewSweetness from Chicago, SewHungryHippie from Wisconsin and Wawak. All are fantastic.
I get the studio 7T7 bag makers box which has really good quality bag hardware and fabrics.
Purple Stitches is a great shop for hardware and continuous zippers.
Country cow designs are also good.
I started bag making recently and have found Me Made Makes sell beautiful hardware. Thankfully I live near Purple Stitches and it's a treasure trove of hardware and zips. It's lovely to take a trip out to their store.
William Gee and Country Cow Designs also provide Sample packs of Bag making stabilisers and interfacings. I bought both packs and they have different samples of various interfacing thicknesses. It's nice to have samples of interfacing that you can actually touch and feel.
Good luck experimenting. X
