Bag Fabric

What is the best fabric for tote bags?

You can never have enough bags, and everyone needs a tote bag for shopping and carrying around all those day-to-day items you can’t do without!

Tote bags are super-convenient and versatile, and best of all they can easily be hand made to create a design that reflects your stylish personality! When choosing a fabric to create your tote bag, it is important to select a hard-wearing and sturdy fabric, and here at Fabrics Galore we recommend canvas, denim or upholstery fabrics.

What is a bag stiffener?

A bag stiffener or inter-facing is a sturdy non-woven material that is glued into bags to provide a stronger structure. Depending on your requirements you can adjust the flexibility of your bag stiffener, so it can be a crucial part of the bag making process, particularly if you plan to create a heavy-duty bag.
