TOOLS for Bag Making<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the tools you will need for bag making<\/strong>. Some of them you may already have while others may be worth investing in as you progress in your bag making journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) RULER AND ROTARY CUTTER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The rulers are good for marking up straps and stuff like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rotary cutters are useful for cutting rectangles and squares quickly alongside the ruler and for trimming up edges after applying stabilizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) THREAD SNIPS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you are sewing a bag, you may have some loose threads and thread snips help in cutting off that loose thread ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) LARGE AND SMALL SHARP SCISSORS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You need fabric scissors for bag making<\/strong>, that are extra large and are useful for cutting out fabrics. Also, you need small scissors to cut the thread and a sturdy little scissor that can help cut little snips around the curves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) PAPER SCISSORS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Great for cutting out pattern pieces, foam, plastic tubing and anything other than fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) PINKING SHEARS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These can be used to prevent fraying and also as a decorative feature. These scissors have precision sharp edges and they provide an improved cutting accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) STEAM IRON AND PRESS CLOTH<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For a professional finish, steam press the seams of your bag and use a press cloth for delicate areas such as zips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7) SEAM GAUGE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Especially useful for measuring small units of length such as for hems or instances where accuracy is the key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8) HERA MARKER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Used to score along the fabric to ensure a crisp fold, it is ideal for card slots and for marking in visible areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9) SEAM RIPPER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You have to think of the seam ripper as your friend as it will help you get a better result. With the help of a seam ripper, you can take up the seam and be able to do the work again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10) BODKIN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bodkins pull cord elastic, ribbon, thread, or other materials through narrow channels such as a waistband or the edge of a hood, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11) GOOD-QUALITY FABRIC GLUE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ideal for holding zips while bag making <\/strong>and for securing hardware in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12) ROTATING HOLE PUNCH<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is ideal for making guide holes in leather or in any fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13) HAMMER, RIVET SETTER, HOLE PUNCH AND ANVIL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rivets can be used to secure pockets and layers that are too thick to sew. To set rivets you will need a hole punch, a hammer, an anvil and a rivet setter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14) TAILOR\u2019S CLAPPER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These are used for pressing faux leather and cork, which usually can’t be pressed on directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15) MARKING TOOLS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use a pencil for marking hardware placements on interfacing and use chalk markers that can be easily removed for marking placements on visible areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16) MINI DUCT TAPE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To protect sharp hardware backs from wearing through fabrics, add a piece of mini duct tape to the back of the hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17) WASH-AWAY DOUBLE-SIDED BASTING TAPE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is ideal for bag making<\/strong> and is used to hold zips in place to ensure accurate stitching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18) CROCHET HOOK<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Perfect for running along the inside of seams to ensure that pockets are turned out fully, into corners to keep them sharp and around flap curves to give a well-rounded edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19) SET OF SMALL SCREWDRIVERS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ideally magnetic, screwdrivers are perfect for fitting hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20) AWL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ideal for making guide holes for hardware and is useful to feed the thick fabrics through the sewing machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21) FRAY CHECK<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can use this on any holes punched into the fabric and also on any seams clipped too close to the stitching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22) QUILTING CLIPS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These are far better for holding bulky fabrics together than pins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23) TAPE MEASURE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is essential for accurate measuring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24) MINI FLUSH RIVET CUTTERS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It can be used to remove a rivet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25) STAPLER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By stapling well within the seam allowance you can ensure no shifting and also secure the bases of bags in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HARDWARE AND BLING for Bag Making<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Learn professional bag making <\/a>by adding a little extra hardware and bling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) MAGNETIC SNAPS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can use magnetic snaps to secure flaps and close pockets. You can also use decorative magnetic snaps to give a polished finish to your bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) TWIST LOCKS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The locks can add an extra layer of security to the bag and also act as a decorative feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though they are not difficult to fit, you do need a little courage to cut through the finished bag to fit it. You can also use press locks which are great for bags with a flap and are easier to fit than twist locks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) RIVETS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rivets can be used to secure pockets, secure layers that are too thick to sew and even close gaps where it’s too tight to sew. Double-cap rivets are the most commonly used type of rivets and you can use them on finished panels, straps and flaps. Single-cap rivets are only suitable for panels where the underside will not be seen on the finished bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) BAG FEET AND SOLID BASES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bag feet are incredibly easy to install and are very practical. They help to keep your beautiful handmade bag clean. You may wish to add a solid base in a structured bag to ensure the bag maintains its shape even when loaded up, though adding a solid base is not at all necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) STRAP ANCHORS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You will be fitting strap anchors to ensure that the bag can carry the weight of anything placed inside and that the fabric doesn’t fail after installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) BAG LABELS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can fit the bag label in the same way as a magnetic snap and it really gives the bag a designer edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7) SCREW-TOGETHER AND ROUND GROMMETS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can use screw-together grommets that look pretty and are simpler to insert than regular grommets that are tricky to fit neatly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
