After making the purse..I decided I'd like it a little bit stiffer so would use something like decorbond and the fleece or thin batting..I don't like a purse that is too floppy...I am going to try to open the lining and add some interfacing and see how I like that...nice to make a sample one first using scrap fabric to work out the kinks...it is a cute and fun pattern....might also increase to 125%...I did 120%
