Stabilizer Fabric and Pattern Questions..

[that-redhead.livejournal.com]

- What kind of fabric would you use as a stabilizer in a handbag? I want something light, and not too hard to sew through. Should I just use a few layers of white cotton fabric?

- What kind of materials do you make multiple- use patterns out of? I thought of using paper, but if I'm getting multiple uses out of it, it's probably going to get ripped rather easily. Would a clear shower curtain work for this purpose? Any other ideas?

And for your troubles, here's pictures of a small handbag I made while watching really bad tv last night. Oh yeah, and some jewelry I made a few days ago!


I haven't put on the button yet. I had one to use, but I didn't like it after I put it on.


I probably should have moved my hand. Oops.
