Choosing the correct fabrics will make the designs pop!
The threads and fabrics you choose for your bags can
really make the difference! Using bright threads and lightly
patterned fabrics is the way to go for eye-catching bags that
are easy to spot. To plan out each bag, pick a fabric that
strikes your fancy. Printed fabrics are the perfect choice for
your bag, as long as the pattern isn't too busy when you
stitch the typography on top. From there, you can coordinate
your threads with your fabric by selecting some colors that
appear in the pattern, or by choosing colors that complement
the colors of your fabric.
Last, but not least, don't forget a fabric for your lining! For our
bags, we chose a solid fabric that went with the patterned
fabric and thread colors that we chose for the design. For
a playful twist, you could try using a solid fabric as the base
for the exterior of your bag, then use a bright and crazy
patterned fabric as a fun and surprising lining!
