A Favorite Lining For Purses?

[CustomDoug]

I have made a couple purses where I used the common satin linings material like is used to line every kind of fine clothing. I just grabbed what seemed appropriate at my local fabric store but I think a thicker variety would have been better (if I planned to use this stuff again). However, I saw a bag making tutorial where they used what was called "bonded nylon" if I'm not mistaken... maybe it was bonded polyester (I can't remember). Anyway it was a thick looking material that just had a nice professional finished look to it. I'd love to source some but can't find it - does anybody know of it? Conversely, does anyone have a preference to any other lining material for purses and bags? Thanks

Tandy and others carry a lining material specifically for wallets and other small articles that you can get with a bonded side.

I like to use Kangaroo for lining or I have used some 2-3oz upholstery leather.

Evening bags and clutches I line with silk. Heavier, more utilitarian bags i like using a poplin weight cotton, for cosmetic and toiletry bags i like the bonded polyester. You can find all of these linings at Joann's Fabrics.

Sorry you probably figured something out by now Just noticed the date of your post =p
