I bought a pattern for a small backpack to use as a purse when going to quilt shows, fairs, or any other place I want to keep my hands free. (I just used a small piece of corduroy that I had left over from my daughter's pants she made in home ec. Yes she is a free spirit when it comes to clothing, and has always done her own thing.) I have to say I learned a lot in the process so it was a learning experience. Now I am ready to make the faux tooled leather one for my sister's birthday on October. Please let me know if you have more experience making bags and you see anything I could do better. Yes, I am asking you to critic my project, and thank you for doing so. Does anyone know what to use, that is not iron on, to stiffen the bag sides, front, back, and bottom? (I am afraid to iron anything onto the faux leather.). I am going to cover some webbing for the straps on the next one, so I have that part covered.
