I made one with a pink bottom.I sat it on the table at a diner and got tea stains on it where the waitress just swiped a cloth over the table as we got there. Sometimes we women put our bags on the floor or even another chair by us and it gets dusty dirt on it. Just a suggestion. I love the colors and the yellow bottom.Looks very summery. You did a great job. Mary
Mary, thanks for the tip. That was one of my after thoughts, wonder if I could spray some 3M ScotchGuard on it to prevent stains and make the fabric more water resistant. I would pre-test on some of the scrap fabric leftover.
You can also buy feet for the bottom of the purse. I'm going to try them with my next bag to see if they are worth the additional $$.
