Here's a construction question for you. How does that old satin lining hold up? It seems to me that the jacket linings are? lightweight lining material, not true satin. So is it really sturdy enough to hold up to a purses' purpose? Lots of stuff - pens, change, pill bottles, little sissors, eyeglasses, billfolds, checkbooks, note papers, receipts, etc.... all jammed in it, and rummaged through a lot? There must be a certain type of old lining that is usable and some that is not. Or do you double it up or fuse it to stabalizer before sewing it into the purse?
