Sewing Nuggets Of The Day
Sewing Nuggets Of The Day
GRAIN
Fabric grain is the way the thread that makes up the fabric travels.
Lengthwise grain runs horizontal to the selvedge or the length of the fabric. Lengthwise grain is usually used to run the length of a garment.
Crosswise grain runs perpendicular to the lengthwise grain. Crosswise grain usually runs across or around a garment.
Bias grain is the grain that runs at a 45 - degree angle to the straight grains of fabric. Bias hangs differently from straight grains. Bias tape is cut from the bias grain and has more "give" when enclosing around areas.
Quote above is from page 37 of Chapter 3 of Teach Yourself Visually Sewing by Debbie Colgrove.

Homemade Cosmetic Bags
Homemade Cosmetic Bags
Supplies Needed To Make These Bags
Simplicity Accessories Pattern 5535
Fabric Bag front and back 3/8 yard and 3/8 yard Band to Bag
12 inch zipper
Thread
Optional: Quilting Batting
Kwik Sew Pattern 3249
Fabric Bag front and back 1/2 yard
Lining front and back 1/2 yard
9 inch zipper
Thread
Optional: Quilting Batting
These two patterns are great to work with in making these types of bags. I had the privilege of adding quilting batting to them which give them a little cuddly effect of softness that feels cushiony. If you like any quilting stitch can be used too to give the quilting effect besides using the batting.
Fabric used here was a general cotton fabric purchased from Gibbons Company in Bermuda.
Bags were made by ShirleyAnn Pearman
