We are delighted to introduce three fabulous bag patterns from Debbie Shore and Half Yard Sewing Club . These beautiful bags have been designed alongside Bosal foam pre-cut shapes, so sewing is as easy as it can possibly be! Watch the video below and read our Q&A with Debbie to find out more.
What made you design these new patterns? I came up with an idea to make bag making easy and approached Bosal to see if they'd be interested, and thankfully they were really excited about my idea!
What’s different about the patterns?
You use the patterns with the Bosal foam, not the fabric. This means you have complete accuracy and don't have to worry too much about seam allowances, as you sew around the edge of the foam shape. It makes sewing curves and darts so much easier!
Are they completely new bag patterns?
Every pattern I create is different, for instance I've designed a few satchels and shoppers, but the dimensions and techniques are always different. I don't want any two bags to be the same.
Do you have to use the Bosal foam?
Bosal foam works best for the structure of these bags. You could use a fusible fleece but the bags would be a lot softer.
You can order your copy of the Elizabeth , Rosemary and Shelley bag patterns now. The Bosal foam shapes to accompany these patterns can be purchased from Debbie's website here . Find out more about the Half Yard Sewing Club here .
