Making Connections

I'd like to find GREAT DRAPE CORDING used to make bag handles.
Daphne J.

GreatDrape!, a round 1/4"-diameter braided cord designed for making fabric-covered shoulder bag and handbag handles, is available from Susa Glenn Designs. This strong polyester cord has excellent drape and flexibility and is sold in 90" lengths. Large Great Drape! (1/2" diameter) is perfect for hefty tote handles and is sold in 65" lengths. How-to instructions for covering the cord with fabric, a free bag pattern and a sample of Bag Structure (stiff vinyl material used in bag construction) are packaged with each product. Visit susaglenndesigns.com for ordering information.
