I love your bag. I asked my dh about tape measures and he said many people return theirs to Sears when they break and Sears replaces them. They usually have a box near the register with the broken ones. its usually the front tab that breaks otherwise the tape is good. You might stop in and ask for one or two, I know I plan to. Denise

Very clever.

I didn't know that, thanks for the tip!

Make sure you use a heavy duty one, not a flimsy tape measure and round off the ends and tape it with duck tape so it doesn't cut your fabric.

Very pretty :D:D:D

Very pretty!!

Should the bag stay open when you open it up or do you need to hold it open! thank you, dennise

You need to hold it open. That's what I like about it, I don't have to remember to close it. :lol:
