Fast2Fuse as a Substitute for a Template Plastic Bag Baseby Nicole Mallalieu |
|||
1. Cut the Fast2Fuse to fit the size of the bag base (see instructions on your pattern for cutting a template Plastic Base). With Fast2Fuse, you don’t have to round off the corners. |
|||
2. Cut a piece of light cotton fabric (calico will do) a little over an inch longer than the length of the Fast2Fuse base, and wide enough to wrap around the width of it. |
|||
 |
|||
| 3. Fold the fabric over the Fast2Fuse and iron it on both sides, until the fabric is firmly fused. | |||
 |
|||
| 4. Trim the excess fabric off the long edge of the Fast2Fuse, leaving a seam allowance of at least half an inch on the shorter ends. | |||
 |
|||
 |
|||
|
|||
| 5. Sew around the edges of the fabric, securing it to the Fast2Fuse. If the base is wider than about 4cm, also sew an x-shape through the centre of the base. | |||
| 6. Lay the Fast2Fuse against the base of the bag, and sew the seam allowances of the bag base to the fabric at the ends of the Fast2Fuse base. | |||
