what do you use on the bottom of your purses?

I use the plastic mesh that you buy at Wal Mart used for needlepoint. It comes in sheets, is easy to cut with rotary or scissors, you may sew over it and I have instructions (somewhere) for making a pocket (with the fab) for the bottom and I just slip the plastic piece in the pocket, stitch the ends and it is done. Washable etc.

I fuse 2 pieces of timtex together then fuse fabric to both sides and surge or zig zag arount it. if it gets floppy, just iron it. you can wash it to. another suggestion is the plastic canvas the you can do needlepoint on, you know the big stuff to make things out of.

I use a poster board (it kind of has a foam center and is a little less than 1/4 inch deep) that I buy at Walmart and cut it to size with an exacto knife. It's sturdy, cheap and it makes several bottoms. I then make a sleeve to put over it that matches the bag.
