Originally designed and sold by Fringe Supply Co., the Town bag is a great everyday purse and/or a do-it-all project bag, no matter what your project may be. It has the same drawstring closure and interior pockets – designed for corralling tools, patterns, and miscellany – as the Field bag (minus the grommets), but with the addition of tote-style handles and external front and back pockets. It's large enough to fit a Field or Stowe bag inside but small enough to fit into a larger bag if needed.
Techniques involved include sewing a straight seam, working with heavy fabrics, and setting rivets (optional).
The Town Bag requires a few notions that can be difficult to source in small quantities, so we've done that for you! Each Town Bag Notions Kit contains the rivets, cotton cord, and handles to make one Town Bag.
Kit Contents:
10 rivets so you have enough to practice before your final setting |
A length of cotton cording to form the bag closure |
Cotton webbing for the carrying handles |
Metrosene can be used on all fabrics and seams. The thread is easy-iron, shrink proof, and offers great color fastness. Metrosene’s high tensile strength, optimal elasticity, and ideal smoothness makes it the sewist’s choice.
