Something you’ll notice when sewing up an Andrie D

Something you’ll notice when sewing up an Andrie Designs bag, tote, or clutch, is that the pattern piece for the lining is tapered slightly towards the bottom. 🤔

This is on purpose and the BIGGEST reason is to prevent saggy or bunched-up lining. Nothing is worse than finishing a bag and noticing that the lining has a saggy bottom.😭

By tapering the seam, we are able to get a nice clean and close lining on your finished bag! 🥳

What's the purpose of topstitching?🤔

The main goal of your topstitching is to secure your seam allowance in place and prevent it from coming loose. Try to use a thread that coordinates with your fabric for the cleanest look. If you go with a contrasting it can sometimes be too intense and take away from the overall look of your project. Along with matching the exterior fabric, match the lining with your bobbin too!
