Bagging corners

Bagging corners basically means folding the fabric with RIGHT SIDES together and stitching from the fold to the end, or just before the end depending on how it will be finished.

The fabric is then turned back the right way and with a ruler or turner, push the tip of the folded section so that it sits flat.

Some people trim the hem allowance to reduce bulk, but I prefer to leave any excess fabric in the bagged section.  There is a reason for everything I do, and the reason I leave the excess fabric is because if the section needs to be “dropped” – it can be.  If the excess is trimmed, the section cannot be dropped.

Happy altering
