The fabric I chose for this Granger is canvas, it offers a nice strong outer layer and adds to the bag’s structure. I interfaced the canvas with Pellon 808 interfacing, which is quite stiff - this bag can practically stand up on it’s own. You can use any stiffness of interfacing you like on your Granger, depending on how malleable you want it to be.
I love when I get the chance to use a fun pattern for a lining, there is something about opening up a bag or jacket and seeing a fun print or bright colour. It is akin to seeing a peek of a colorful sock under a dress pant, it makes me so happy! For this bag I chose orange because it is a complementary colour to the turquoise on the outside. There is also turquoise in the pattern, so it ties in really nicely. As with view B, I used the outer bag fabric for the pocket lining and kangaroo pocket.
Next I will be making Sam a Granger Bag! He has chosen a darker colour palette and a plaid interior lining. He wants a flap for his version, so I am making him view B.
