Coordinating Thread
For a slouchy hobo bag, choose an Exterior vinyl or leather that has a nice drape. More Me Know clay vinyls are an excellent choice. If a more structured bag is desired, use a stiffer vinyl, leather, or cork. Quilting cotton can be used for the Exterior and Lining, if desired. When using quilting cotton, interface each piece with one layer of premium weight fusible woven interfacing (PixieFuse Premium from Royal Pixie Custom Fabrics is recommended). Keep in mind the abilities of your sewing machine when choosing materials.
