“The bag is closed by adhesive woven interfacing on the inner side. This fabric fulfills the role of lining…”
These words can meet at almost all my descriptions of fantasy bags, wallets and keyholders. So, what is it – “adhesive woven interfacing”?
Woven interfacing is stout cotton fabric, white or black, and it has a coat of adhesive on one side. As usual adhesive is made by coating drops of polyethylene. When you lay an interfacing detail on the bags’ detail (coat of adhesive inside), and press by iron, polyethylene melts and sticks fabric and leather together. This process is named “cloth-backing”.
Woven interfacing has different closeness of texture. I use collar woven interfacing – it is the most stout.
The back side of the bag is “packed up” by woven interfacing, and its coat of adhesive closes all the ends of stitchings. It makes an accurate look inside of the bag and makes all the stitches stout.
Above you can see a picture of the process of cutting-out details of black adhesive woven interfacing for owl bags.
Below there are photos of back sides of details: striped fish, ladybug keyholder, and berry bag.
