In this WIP Wednesday episode Vanessa will share tips for making a false bottom (a.k.a- a hard bottom) for your bag projects.
The February 2022 project in the Crafty Gemini Bag Maker Subscription Box was an insulated lunch box that came with a piece of template plastic for use as a false bottom. A false bottom helps give bag projects more structure and a more rigid bottom so the fabric layers don’t buckle with added weight inside the bag.
Tune in to learn what types of materials you could use to create your own false bottoms as well as how to take the measurements to cover it with fabric for a cleaner finish inside your bags!
