Somebody posted a website/link that had these patterns on sale. I have
searched the recent posts for an hour and can't find it. Please tell me
again which online store had them on sale? I think I'm catching the
Wonder Wallet and handbag bug.... like I need something *else* to do!

I have purchased from "Sew Thankful" many, many times, and I just love
them. Their service is impeccable, and they carry my favorite brand of
threads. I also like all the unique "gifty" patterns they carry. They
are definitely one of my "favorite" online shops - and very nice people.

Leslie, I don't put the Bag-E-Bottoms in my bags because they would just
add lots more bruises. BG (I tend to run into things anyway, so
nothing "hard" in my bags.) I use Timtex in the bottoms instead for
some extra firmness. You can also use plastic canvas, or heavy
"pasteboard" (cardboard stuff??) or anything like that. Using a firm
batting and more quilting in the sides will help it stand up better too.
As will adding a layer of medium to heavy weight interfacing (fusible)
to the lining. Lots of options to get the effect you want.

Love them. There are several in my webshots in the "bags"(??) album.VBG

So, which patterns did you order besides the Wonder Wallet?

Since the first of June, I've made 3 Summer Totes, 2 Sassy Bags (getting
ready to make another one), 2 Towne Purses (have the fabric for another
for my DGD), and 9 Wonder Wallets. One of the Wonder Wallets was wide -
wide enough I don't have to fold money to put it in the wallet. I have
the pattern for the City Bag that I want to make soon. Also want to make
the Gracie Bag pretty soon. Any bag I make, I make a Wonder Wallet to go
with it. These patterns are addictive!

Thanks, Polly! I *knew* it was there some where, but I sure couldn't
find it. I ordered four of her patterns- the Wonder Wallet and three bag
patterns. Woohoo!

Just cover a piece of cardboard (not the corrugated kind) with the
lining fabric and you have your solid base. I don't think the quilting
alone would keep the bag in shape once you had anything in it. You're
probably not going to need it to be waterproof!

Sorry Kathyl (and others!), I really should read other replies before
making my own. I just happen to have a bad - made by a friend - that
has a card base, so I just typed without looking ahead.

I bet you could use a heavy cardboard....just glue a couple layers together
and cover it with matching fabric. If and when it gets soft and
bent....make another one.

Bought the Towne and the City patterns at the same time as the Wonder
Wallet.

I got the patterns from
http://www.cottonvault.com/
because they offered free postage on patterns, even international. As
the patterns are double the price over here + either the petrol to get
there or the postage, it made sense.

I put the Bag-e-Bottom in my Towne Purse & took it out - don't really need
it. I didn't really do that much quilting to the Towne Purse but it still
made it firm enough I didn't think the bottom was needed. However, my DGD
wants it in her Towne Purse so the money wasn't wasted.

My Summer Tote - I do like the bottom in it (it doesn't have batting in the
sides like the Towne Puse does) and will probably use it for the City Bag,
too. Since those are the ones I've made, I don't know whether you would
need it for the other bags or not. You could always use Timtex or heavy
cardboard.

My Towne Purse is the handiest bag I've ever had with the pockets on each
side so that everything is right at your fingertips when you open up your
bag.

Hey! No apologies! I'm actually glad to know I would have the same idea as
you! It brings me up to a higher level! ;-)

Lots of people are suggesting cardboard type 'stuff' for the bottoms, but I
thought one of the main attractions to these bags would be washing them? I
know I end up setting my bag on the floor a lot, so there is always a huge
potential of them getting something nasty on the bottom of the bag. I saw a
small segment of a television program where they tested the bottom of many
handbags and the amount of e. coli- among lots of other icky, nasty things-
found on the bags took care of that for me! Yuck!!!
