What fabrics should you use to sew your luggage tag?

As always, the fabrics that I recommend for the pattern are listed in the supplies table.

If your machine does not handle thicknesses well, I advise you to use a fine quilting-type cotton for both the exterior fabric and the lining. As you will see below, this is what I used for the majority of my luggage tags. It is also the choice of fabric which will facilitate a pretty finish.

I make it an essential point to create and sew all Sacôtin patterns on a mid-range domestic sewing machine (Janome DC4030), and not on an industrial or semi-industrial one, in order to be sure that the making of the pattern is possible at home. But, as always, your choice of fabrics is decisive.

One of the tags is in vinyl on the outside and fine cotton on the inside, I interfaced the cotton piece A with Vlieseline/Vilene G700 (without the seam allowances – see instructions in the PDF page 5).

All other tags are made of fine cotton (quilting type) inside and out. For these luggage tags, I interfaced the 2 pieces A with Vlieseline/Vilene G700 (without the seam allowances – see instructions in the PDF page 5).

I used Kam plastic snaps for all the luggage tags.
