I use core board. You can get it is a couple of different thicknesses. It also makes the bag much lighter.

I read somewhere to use old cutting mats for bag bottoms.

Thanks

I use 2 layers of plastic canvas then use trial & error on size. It's so easy to trim. I make a pillowcase like cover for it since it can also be washed.

I've heard of people going to the dollar store and getting placemats to use.

Thank you Oralee,

I had another look at it yesterday after I finished my canning, looked for the lost pattern book (which I found) and may have a go at completing it this afternoon. Have some cooking to do this morning.
