Different methods for boxing the corners on a bag – video tutorial
When you’ve sewn a few bags you start to notice that each designer has their own particular favorite way of doing things. Their signature methods. But there are usually more ways than one to sew a bag and learning alternative ways to do things might enable you to sew quicker, easier or neater if you find a slightly different method that suits you better.
Or learning these skills can help you design your own patterns, adapt patterns as needed, or combine features from several patterns into a single unique bag design of your own. Take corners for example. Unless you are sewing a flat bag such as a simple zipper pouch, your bag will usually have some depth to it, darts or corners, and a flat bottom.
