It looks very firm so am wondering what you used. Thanks for the info.
I made 2 sizes, $20 and $30, and the buyers said "thats all" so I suppose you could get more. I had a lady offer me $40 to make one. Which blew me away, theres no pockets! No closures. I made one tote for a lady that just wanted a simple bag to put her purse down in for the holidays. So I pulled this pattern out of my head. I didn't expect to get requests for more. In the lining I used a Fusible Pellon like they use in shirt collars. If you ask the clerk at joanns they have 2 different weights I use the heavier of the 2. I dont have the number because I throw the instructions away. On the outside fabric I used Pellon971 it too is a fusible. Those instructions are still in my trash can..LOL. I also use both fusibles in the handles. Good luck with your totes!
