Hill and Dale Fabrics Basket Tote & Trinket Case with HeatnBond Interfacing

Hi, this is Jenifer here with you today to share a set of bags that I made for the Blend Fabrics Quilt Market Booth using the Hill and Dale fabric line. These fabrics were so much fun to use I love how the bags turned out, my daughter has already claimed them when they make their way back from Houston.

Hill and Dale Fabrics Basket Tote & Trinket Case with HeatnBond Interfacing

Both of these items are free patterns that I have included the links in the supply list. These patterns are very well written and I would recommend both of them. What I did want share with you is a tip that I did because I did not have any of the fusible foam. This is a perfect project to try out some of those specialty threads. [tooltip text="TooltipText"]Tip: I substituted HeatnBond® Craft Fusible on both of the main fabric and the lining and then I used the HeatnBond® Fusible Fleece sandwiched in between the main and the lining fabrics. You could also add 2 layers of the Fusible Fleece if you want extra volume. This left me with a nice weight bag that is very sturdy and will last a long time.[/tooltip]

Trinket Case: The trinket bag did not ask for a fusible foam but I still did the same technique that I did with the bag. I love the results and I already have plans to make several more of these convenient little cases. In this picture, you can see all of the layers. Those fabrics are just too beautiful.
