Lastly, trim all seam allowances after stitching. For bag construction, it’s important to have a wider seam allowance, such as ⅜″ (1cm) or ½″ (12mm) wide, to catch all the layers and thicker fabrics; however, to reduce bulk after sewing, the seam allowances can be trimmed back to ⅛″ (3mm) or ¼″ (6mm) wide, depending on the fabric and area of the bag.

TIP

To add stability to bags, use support materials such as bag bases, metal frames, or piping and cording. For detailed explanations and examples of how to use support materials, refer to Fabrics & Interfacing. These materials are often applied in more advanced designs and bag-making techniques; however, incorporating them into simpler projects is still very achievable.
