I love my butercup bag.

I agree on the interfacing. I forgot to mention I used some, too. It was some kind of med-lightweight kinda spongy feeling. It really added nice body to it. It'd be too limp without it, I think.

The one in the pic does not have the interfacing, it is too soft. I plan to add interfacing over the weekend so it will have more body, without my sunglasses being in it. The interfacing I used in the other two was the same kind used for shirt collars (had some left over after making hubby new shirts).
