I bought some size 4t skirts from a thrift store, makes it eaiser. However now I need to know how to hold the purse up. I want to put beaded handles on them and belts so what do you use to make the fabric stiff. Is there some time of form you sew inside the bag before you line them and what do you buy to make a bottom,cardbord will not hold up. Thanks Pam |

A strong pair of kitchen shears (not your good sewing shears) can be used to cut the plastic into various shapes. I often find that I can get exactly what I want - like the inside of a bill for a baseball cap, or the bottom of a tote bag or purse - from a liquid detergent bottle or an empty bleach bottle. Mark the plastic with a Sharpie, then cut in the longest, smoothest strokes you can. That reduces the amount of tidying up to do. -- Joanne stitches @ singerlady.reno.nv.us.earth.milky-way.com http://members.tripod.com/~bernardschopen/ |

The standard plastic canvas may be stiff enough for the sides. -- Jenn Ridley : |
