advice on bag
For my mother's July birthday I am making her a bag - since she already has quilts, runners, placemats, etc... what's a quilter to do? Anyway, this is my first attempt and I have two questions:
Where do you find magnetic closures? Walmart doesn't have any and neither does my local quilt shop. I'm going on a small shop hop on Friday and will check those shops. I will also be near a Hobby Lobby.
Do you put anything in the bottom to firm it up? This is a smallish bag - 11X13. The pattern suggests buying the designer's product, but I wondered if you use anything and if so, what?
I've done the front, the back, and the tab, but am at a standstill until I find a closer thingy. The pattern also suggests velcro, but I'm not a fan.
