Happy Independence Day!
How fortunate we are to live in America! God has truly blessed us! And now, Summer is in full swing, and we hope you’ve found some time to enjoy family, friends, and—of course—a little sewing! Whether you’re making bags for craft fairs, gifts, vacations, or just because you love creating, thank you for choosing Got Interfacing? to be part of your projects. We absolutely love seeing what you make! Be sure to post photos of your finished bags in the group and tell us which Got Interfacing? products you used.

⭐ Product Tip of the Month
|
A reminder that WovenFuse Original is the perfect foundation for many bag-making fabrics. Applying a woven interfacing first helps prevent the dimpling that can occur with some nonwoven products while maintaining the beautiful drape of your fabric. Sometimes the best-looking bag starts with what no one ever sees!

The Poppins Bag by Aunties Two

Looking for a fun summer project? The Poppins Bag is a roomy, stylish carry-all that’s perfect for quilting classes, road trips, farmers markets, or organizing sewing supplies. It has plenty of pockets and showcases beautiful fabrics. Our recommendation:
● WovenFuse Original for quilting cotton
● LuxeFuse where extra body is desired
● LuxeSew if you’d like a softer, cushioned finish
If you’ve already made a Poppins Bag, we’d love to see your version!

💡 Sewing Tip
|
Always test-fuse your interfacing on a scrap before beginning your project. Every iron and heat press is a little different, and a quick test can make all the difference. Remember—no moisture is needed with Got Interfacing? products.
