After hours of sewing your bag, you want it to last years, especially if you sell your bags or gift them to friends and family. So what steps can you take to make your bag live longer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Don\u2019t trim your webbing or zip tape<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you start your bag making journey, you may feel tempted to trim the excess off everything, including <a href=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/zips\">zips<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/webbing\">webbing<\/a>, to make it match your seam allowance. Don\u2019t do this. Leaving excess webbing and zip tape will add strength to the straps and ensure your bag lasts longer. If you&#8217;re in any of the bag making groups on Facebook, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve seen the many posts about straps and zips coming out of the seam after the bag has been used for a couple of months. Leaving excess in the seam can play a big part in preventing this from happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Materials and fabrics want to fray, even within the seam allowance. So if you trim these parts of the bag, you may find after a few months your strap connector pulls out of the seam or the zip pull comes off the end of the zip. Don\u2019t trim webbing or zip tape, and for extra longevity I melt the end of nylon webbing and zip tape with a quick flame as this stops it from fraying in the future. Alternatively, I use <a href=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/product\/prym-fraycheck-155\">Fray check<\/a> or fabric glue on the ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/product\/tfb-3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-id=\"48065\" src=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC03005-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"example of strap webbing not being trimmed when making a bag\" class=\"wp-image-48065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC03005-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC03005-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC03005-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC03005-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC03005-2048x1368.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Don&#8217;t trim the end of the webbing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Add stabiliser and tape to the back of prong fittings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bags will often include features like <a href=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/product\/slim-mag-snaps-80\">magnetic snaps<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/product\/prong-bag-feet-70\">bag feet<\/a>. These are usually fitted with prongs that you fold over inside the bag. Once fitted, you may assume they will be fine forever. But we&#8217;ve learned the benefits of adding some stabiliser and tape to the back of these fittings. Over years of use, this will prevent the prongs rubbing through the layers of your bag and tearing the fabric.

The tip of a needle is designed for a specific material. For example, a leather needle is designed to cut through the layers, whereas a universal needle will \u201cpoke\u201d through. This means a leather needle will cut strands in cotton and could cause it to rip along the seam. This won&#8217;t be completely obvious at the time you&#8217;re sewing it, but you&#8217;ll know later on when the bag starts to fall apart with use. Using too short a stitch length could also cause the same issue, especially for materials like <a href=\"https:\/\/mbcork.com\/en-gb\/collections\/colored-cork-fabric\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cork<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/product\/luxury-faux-leather-127\">vinyl<\/a>. For fabrics like that, be sure to use a longer stitch length. I tend to use a 3-4 stitch length for construction and 4-5 for topstitching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/product\/super-universal-needles-75-100-177\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"48085\" src=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Needles-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Needles-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Needles-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Needles-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Needles-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Needles-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Needles-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"48091\" src=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC02013-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC02013-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC02013-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC02013-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC02013-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC02013-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC02013.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\"><strong>Add an extra stitch line<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a simple way of adding strength to a bag. After you&#8217;ve sewn a seam together, sew along the same seam but further in, about 1\/8&#8243; (0.3mm). We often show this in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@CountryCowDesigns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video tutorials<\/a>. My favourite place to do this is on important exterior seams such as box corners. Adding this additional seam will take pressure off the original seam, and when the bag is crammed with everything you need for the day, you can be confident nothing is going to rip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/product\/industrial-tote-15\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"553\" data-id=\"48069\" src=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Industrial-Tote-1024x553.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Industrial-Tote-1024x553.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Industrial-Tote-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Industrial-Tote-768x415.jpg 768w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Industrial-Tote-1536x830.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Industrial-Tote.jpg 1766w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">We suggest this tip in our patterns<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s five ways to make your bags live longer.

La pointe d&#8217;une aiguille est con\u00e7ue pour un mat\u00e9riau sp\u00e9cifique. Par exemple, une aiguille en cuir est con\u00e7ue pour couper les couches, tandis qu&#8217;une aiguille universelle va \u00ab&nbsp;percer&nbsp;\u00bb \u00e0 travers. Cela signifie qu&#8217;une aiguille en cuir coupera les brins de coton et pourrait le faire d\u00e9chirer le long de la couture. Ce ne sera pas tout \u00e0 fait \u00e9vident au moment o\u00f9 vous le coudrez, mais vous le saurez plus tard quand le sac commencera \u00e0 s&#8217;effondrer \u00e0 l&#8217;usage. L&#8217;utilisation d&#8217;une longueur de point trop courte pourrait \u00e9galement causer le m\u00eame probl\u00e8me, en particulier pour des mat\u00e9riaux comme le <a href=\"https:\/\/mbcork.com\/en-gb\/collections\/colored-cork-fabric\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">li\u00e8ge<\/a> et le <a href=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/product\/luxury-faux-leather-127\">vinyle<\/a>. Pour des tissus comme celui-ci, assurez-vous d&#8217;utiliser une longueur de point plus longue. J&#8217;ai tendance \u00e0 utiliser une longueur de point de 3-4 pour la construction et de 4-5 pour les surpiq\u00fbres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-10 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"48085\" src=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Needles-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Needles-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Needles-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Needles-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Needles-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Needles-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Needles-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"48091\" src=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC02013-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC02013-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC02013-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC02013-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC02013-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC02013-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/countrycowdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC02013.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AJOUTER UNE LIGNE DE POINT SUPPL\u00c9MENTAIRE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C&#8217;est un moyen simple d&#8217;ajouter de la force \u00e0 un sac.
