Yeah, the Bosal wasn't too hard to work with. I've never used Header Foam. I love these baskets though. I use them for crafts, kind of like project bags, but for dolls. I make a lot of things with stuffing and they're unwieldy to try to keep in flat bags. :)
Hi! Thank you so much for this video. I'm currently trying to work out which heavy-weight interfacing I need for some fabric cube baskets and there are SO many different types, just in heavy-weight...who knew! I know Bosal In-R Form is AMAZING, but it's so expensive here - I bought just 0.5 metres of it over a year ago and it was about 12 quid!!! So, no doubt it's even more expensive now. And I have got at least five or six 30cm fabric baskets to make, so I just can't afford it - otherwise it would definitely be my first choice. So, after watching your vid, think my plan is: * a layer of heavy-weight interfacing on both the outer fabric and the lining. And I might use heavier-weight fabric too, instead of quilting cotton or poplin. * then a layer of wadding in between outer fabric and lining. * finally, some basic quilting to hopefully give them a bit of ooompph! Please let me know if you have ever made a basket like this, as I would be interested to know if it works, before I attempt it! Thank you for your video, it was just what I was looking for 😻
Sarah - so glad the video was helpful! I've never made one like you're describing, but our local bagmaker says she doubles up on standard interfacing (I'm assuming she means medium), and she quilts them, and her bags stand up nicely. I would worry a tad about the sewability of two layers of heavyweight, but you could sew a swatch and see how it goes. Good luck with your project! :)
Thank you so much for this video! Very helpful! Deb x 🤗
Great info, thank you so much! Saves me buying products and testing for my self!
Oh, I'm so glad! Thanks for watching. :)
Perfect! Just what I wanted to know! thank you.
Oh, yay! Glad it was helpful. :)
Thank you! I’ve used header foam in the past and it’s so difficult to work worth. I like the Bosal in this video, I’ll try that my next project
