it is very nice.. i put my pocket in the seam too... and if i do piping that goes in along with it..
i use to use the stiff for inside and out.. the last two i made i used stiff on outside and less stiff on inside and pockets.. they both turned out really nice and waaaaaaaaaaay easier to sew..
i have made over 50 of these purses.. i enjoy each and every one of them.
