<\/strong>The use of <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/l\/fusible_interfacing\" title=\"Fusible Interfacing\" class=\"pretty-link-keyword\">fusible interfacing<\/a> will depend on the fabric you choose to work with. Canvas and think upholstery fabric do not need it. Cotton quilting will need both in the outside fabric and it the lining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am using 100% cotton fabric from the upholstery section at IKEA and have opted to fuse a medium weight interfacing to both outside and lining fabrics. In hindsight, I wish I hadn't since it made it impossible to sew a cotton tape&nbsp;<strong>handle<\/strong>&nbsp;(to hand carry the bag) on the top of the backpack.&nbsp; I could have done it,&nbsp; had I used my industrial machine to finish the bag. However, not everyone has an industrial machine at home. Before placing the handle or using thick upholstery fabric make sure your machine can handle many layers of fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\">Step One: &nbsp;Attaching the outer zipper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Place the right side of the fashion fabric up.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/right-side-of-the-fabric-500x375.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33450 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/right-side-of-the-fabric-500x375.png 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/right-side-of-the-fabric-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/right-side-of-the-fabric-150x113.png 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/right-side-of-the-fabric.png 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px;
