I bought the pattern and want to make one as well. I read in one of the posts to use cardboard, but could plastic canvas be used instead to make the stiffer bottom?

The plastic canvas idea is great! I was gifted a few large pieces of it, and I had no idea what to do with it.

The border is very close to me so I go to Joann's with coupons and it is a nice outing for the day. Even with the border crossing fees and the the 6% MI tax it is much cheaper. They charge to cross into Juarez, Mexico from El Paso - 2 cents into Mexico & 3 cents back to USA ,Kind of pricey, huh? :) |

Better hurry!!! |
Unfortunately Walmart here turned stupid and decided it was a good idea to get rid of their fabric department and have been selling things at clearence prices that aren't even clearnance prices. I know of one Walmart in the states that still sells the bolt fabric I'll have to check their next time I'm over. Good to know that I don't need so much pellon for the bow tuck bag I just got the pattern and haven't tried making one yet. New to quilting and sewing.[/quote]
Here in Nova Scotia too. Talking about high prices, when I went to my son's wedding in Ottawa, I was dying to get to a quilting shop so my g/f came with me. Well I'm sure they thought I was right off the boat when I darn near fainted, the cheapest meter of fabric was 18.00!!!! While that may well be a normal price, I was in total shock...no wonder I order online and will continue to do so pffffffffffffffffft on that!!! |
I don't know if they ship to Canada, however Connecting Threads has Insulbrite (ironing board insulation) for about $6.00 per yard. You might check it out.[/quote]
They do ship to Canada, I order from them a lot :) |
