    You will lose stiffnes mostly. If you like a bag a little floppy, then that would be fine. But I would make sure I put the interfacing on the outside of the bag for wear and tear reasons. And make sure your lining is sturdy. You could put a thin fusible on the lining and that should be good.

    Remember, patterns are like a chilli recipe, it is merely a guideline.

And aren't the seams reallllllly thick and stiff with four layers of Pellon in them? Thanks for your thoughts on this!

    I went ahead and followed the directions as far as using the pellon on both lining and the body - I'm almost at the assembly stage. The quilting is only done on one layer, so that turned out to be a non-issue. And once I started working with it, I realized that the fleece isn't nearly as thick or dense as I had previously thought. So far, so good.

    I have purchased the pattern and set it aside for over a year. Maybe I will give it try now. Thanks for the Tute!

    Very nice bag. I did haVe a pattern for it that someone sent me, and can't find it now. They are really pretty bags.
