I am thinking on getting this pattern and want to order the bag-e-bottom to go in it...however the pattern does not list the finished size, so I do not know what size bottom to order for it!
Can anyone who makes these tell me #1- does it need a sturdy bottom insert?, #2- what size it would need to be!
Thanks

For the last bag I made (not a bowtuck) I used the flexible cutting board plastic from the $ store. I cut it to size, and used 2 pieces for extra strength. It is still flexible, but should be plenty strong. I just inserted it in the bottom before sewing up the lining. It worked for me. :)

Mat-board is my favorite too, if you make a lot of bags you can buy it pretty cheap in lots on ebay. Also you can use foam core board, they have it at the dollar store as well. Have fun making your bag and post some pics for us to see.

Bag E bottoms won't fit on those bags, only the bags that are designed by the people who did the Bag E bottoms. I found that out the hard way. I just cover matt board with fabric after measuring the bottom when all is done.
