I bought mine at Hobby Lobby, the cost was 99 cents.
Don't remember the size but I have made six Bow Tuck purses so far and still have enough for at least four or five more.

I used ply wood DH cut to size for me. I made a pouch for it and placed the panel in the bottom so I can remove it when the bag needs washing. I don't make many bags but I needed something strong to hold everything I need for when I go on bus trips. It is a lot easier than taking a backpack all the time. I have put 4 outside pockets and 2 inside pockets so the bag can hold a lot of things in it.
