Interfacing question and a picture

[britishbroccoli.livejournal.com]

I need a wee bit of help. >.< I have a purse that colapses upon itself when worn. I knitted it myself with very hairy yarn. It is simply one long rectangle folded in thirds. Two of the thirds are sewn together and the third is an opening flap for the bag. There are also straps, but they don't matter.

I bought interfacing. Sadly, the instructions on it seem to have disappeared and, doubly sadly, I have already sewn up my bag. I think it is iron on interfacing.. it has a sticky side that is covered in peelable clear plastic. I plan on turing the bag inside out and ironing the interfacing on top of it, sticky side down. However, I don't want the interfacing to stick the opposite side of the bag.

What should I place between the sides of the bag when ironing to prevent the sides from sticking to each other? Or... do you have a better way of doing this? Or.. am I completely wrong about the interfacing?


Here's a pic so I don't feel so bad.

The backpack was a plain blue amazingly boring Jansport that I freehand painted.

The legwarmers are plaid shirt sleaves that i cut off and laced ribbon around the tops of. The bottoms of them are the cufs of the sleaves.
