CUT SIZE

The community favourite for polished, structured bags.

DayFlex gives every bag a clean, professional finish straight off your machine. It's a smooth, water-resistant polyester with a lining bonded to the back, so it has body on its own, and most projects don't need interfacing at all.

The Checkerboard is a classic black and white checkerboard.

Why makers choose DayFlex

  • Structure is built right in, because the bonded lining gives your bag body without any interfacing.
  • Spills wipe away easily, and the water-resistant surface keeps everyday messes from soaking in.
  • Your bags hold their shape beautifully, whether DayFlex is on the outside or used as the lining.
  • Cutting and sewing feel easy, since it doesn't fray or stretch and it sews smoothly on a home machine.
  • It's a natural fit for slings, makeup pouches, totes, lunch bags, travel bags and organizers.

Good to know

  • Each piece is pre-cut, so if you order more than one, they arrive as separate pieces rather than one continuous length.
  • For extra structure, a sew-in interfacing is the perfect match. CloudFill Fleece Sew-In adds soft padding, and FoamPro Sew-In gives you a bag that stands on its own. I skip fusibles on DayFlex so it needs as little heat as possible.

DayFlex is easy to work with, and a few small habits help it look its best. Use a 90/14 Microtex needle and set your stitch length to at least 3 mm for neat, even topstitching. Clips work better than pins, since pins can leave small holes. When you need to press, work on the back side only with a pressing cloth, and skip the steam.
