I want to make a purse but need a suggestion as to what to add to the bottom of it to keep it firm. I don't want to use cardboard as the pattern suggested. I was thinking of something that would be able to go through the wash? Any suggestions? Skip it maybe?
Thanks! |
I used pieces of plastic cut from For Sale signs (we had some on hand.) I cut it to size and then make a slipcover for it. When I want to wash the bag, it is easy to take out and put back when the bag is dry.

I used plexi glass from the hardware store. I cut it to the bottom size of the purse. I bound the edges with electrical tape, and slipped them in a pocket in the purse bottom. They could be removed when the purse needed to be washed.
But if you want something permanent maybe some type of plastic webbing? |
I cover plastic canvas with matching fabric.
|
My father cuts thin wood, then we cover it with matching fabric. Stays firm.

An old rotary cutting mat (cut to size and covered) works great!
|
I like this idea, it is even washable. :-)
