felt

[miz-persnicket.livejournal.com]

i checked the memories but didnt see an answer to my question.


I am the one who made the halloween ornaments a week or two ago, and now i want to make some larger halloween bags out of felt [not nice homemade felt, but store bought felt] but i am not sure how to make the bag sturdy.

Felt in layers is very sturdy, and probably will be ok, but to sew through layers of felt..is kind of daunting [i do everything by hand]

My question is, is there something i can wash it in, or spray on it to make it stronger? A starch, or something?


Sorry if this question is stupid, but ive never needed to ask this question! Ive never made a felt bag before.


Thanks in advance:
