It is a good lining fabric. I haven&#8217;t used it as a background as it is pretty dynamic and doesn&#8217;t fade into the background like other fabrics.<\/p>\n<p>I did the pocket a little differently, too. I made a vinyl pocket using the <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2021\/11\/sparkly-vinyl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glitter vinyl from Sew Hungry Hippie<\/a>. There was a little bit of a problem sewing the turning opening closed, but not much. Some of that could have been from forgetting to use a 3\/8 inch seam allowance on the top.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_58550\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58550\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230225_183959_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-58550\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230225_183959_wm-sm-300x203.jpg\" alt=\"Sugar Skull Hackney handle\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230225_183959_wm-sm-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230225_183959_wm-sm-768x519.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230225_183959_wm-sm.jpg 802w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-58550\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sugar Skull Hackney handle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I also added a handle to this one and remembered not to sew through the lining!
