Method: Iron your interfacing on to the back of the external fabric pieces (in this example I used heavy weight interfacing, its fine,but when I make another one I will use fusible fleece as it will make the bag a little stiffer and give it a more luxurious feel).

Bacterial sputum cultures detect the presence of disease-causing bacteria (pathogens) in people who are suspected of having bacterial pneumonia or other lower respiratory tract infections. Bacteria in the sample are identified and susceptibility testing is performed to guide antibiotic treatment. Sometimes a respiratory infection is caused by a pathogen that cannot be grown and identified with a routine bacterial sputum culture. Other tests, such as an AFB smear and culture, fungal culture, or viral culture, may be ordered in addition to or instead of a routine culture.
