The Ultimate Guide to Interfacing for Bagmaking

by Amanda Whisman July 01, 2025 1 Comment

The Ultimate Guide to Interfacing for Bagmaking

🧵 This Resource Has a New Home!

If you’ve been here before looking for The Ultimate Guide to Interfacing for Bagmaking, you’re in the right place — it just got a makeover.

All the same helpful info you loved is now available as a free printable PDF guide so you can keep it right beside your sewing machine (and off your browser tabs).

🎁 Grab your free copy here:
👉 Download the Free Interfacing Guide


Why the Change

This guide has helped so many beginner bagmakers understand interfacing — what it is, how to use it, and which ones to reach for. Turning it into a printable format makes it easier for you to reference while you cut, fuse, and sew.

It’s still the same beginner-friendly breakdown, just more convenient to use (and yes, still free!).


Ready to Sew With Confidence?

Once you’ve got the basics down, you can go deeper inside my Sew Better Bags eBook — a 30-page beginner resource packed with:

  • a full, expanded Interfacing Guide + Cheat Sheet,
  • real-world sewing tips for professional results,
  • and beginner-friendly patterns like the Sunset 2.0 Zipper Pouch, Easy Charm Tote, and Let’s Eat Lunchbox.

👉Learn with Sew Better Bags


Thanks for being part of the Be Mandy Things community — especially if you’ve been here since this post first went live! I hope the new format makes it even easier to keep learning, sewing, and building confidence with every bag you make.
🧵 — Amanda
