What fabric can the accordion bag be sewn from?
The accordion bag can be sewn from almost any sturdy fabric.
The following are particularly suitable:
It looks especially beautiful when the bias tape and fabrics harmonize in color and design.
I managed to get hold of the beautiful dotted bias tape* from Stoffe Hemmers. ;)
You need just under 5 meters for the bag, so I'd better quickly reorder now so I don't run out of my favorite bias tape... ;) Hemmers also has lovely graphically patterned fabrics*.
Of course, you also have the option of making your own bias tape in a matching color.
Can beginners also sew the accordion bag?
If you already have a little experience with bias tape, the accordion bag is a great way to expand and solidify your skills. Here you'll find a detailed post about sewing on bias tape.
If you're working with bias tape for the first time, you can try out how it works on a sample piece.
In the pattern, I explain every step in great detail.

Go for it - and create the coolest bag of the year!
