What can you think of?
I made about a dozen of them a couple of years ago for gifts.
I did what one of our gals in our quilt guild did. She went to
Walmart and bought a plastic (vinyl or whatever) place mat.
You can cut them easily. If they get wet, won't ruin them
vs. what a paper product would do. I made an 'envelope'
out of fabric slid in the cut piece of mat, and folded under the
open end and put it in. If you ever want to launder the purse
you can take it out. I also do that for totes, etc. I thought
she was pretty clever to think of that.
