I used up a lot of "older" Pellon from my stash in my purses and bags. In fact sometimes I like the feel or look of the Pellon better than the fleece. As I had a drawer full of Pellon, I just didn't want to invest (fusible fleeces is $8-$10 a metre in Canada), I did some experimenting. Sometimes I had to use 2 or 3 layers of Pellon to get the right amount of stiffness and body in my purses but it worked! The Pellon drawer now opens and shuts easily and I didn't need to spend any money on more "stuff". All I had to buy was the Timtex or Peltex (the really heavy stiff one) for the bottom of the bags. Watch out for the double sided Peltex. I was used to the one side only kind and managed to stick it to my iron as I didn't read the instructions because I "knew" how to use it.
