Does it expand when you release the bows on the sides? How big is it?
Your choice of fabrics is wonderful.
Not dumb at all, I would be happy to answer for you. the ties do hold it in. When "expeanded" it is about 5 inches wide (front to back) or same size as the bottom of the bag. I have made a few, but I changed the size, tried a zipper, made it with and without ties.
I look at patterns like recipes, they are just a starting point. You make it special.
