I use foam core board,too. Found plastic canvas too flimsy for bigger purses

I have several sheets of the plastic grids from mother's stash. When I find them again, I'l going to try....

Ditto. Works great and you remove to wash.

Mr. Grumpy cuts fiber board and I insert it into a fabric envelope.

same here, it works fine for me and I've had this one bag for about 8 years.

joannes sells sheets of white foam oard, i bought when on sale bogo. the girls in my group have used cardboard from boxes, use sleeve made of lining material hemmed and just folded over so can remove to wash, just replace if need to.

Found this hint on the message board. I cut up an old warped cutting mat to the right size.

I do the plastic milk jug too, cover it with the lining, here I thought I was being so clever, might know someone on this board would think of it to We are just so smart (pat on back here)
