I started remembering about your bag and wondered if it was the same and it is! <br /><br />I don't think I'm going to go this route as I'm working with a tapestry type upholstery fabric and really can't see all that with this heavy fabric. I think I'll just line it and of course, use the fleece interlining. Thanks so much for your detailed explanation and pictures!At least I know a lot better what I'm trying to make!Ann Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-67447729986228165982011-07-26T21:06:30.126-07:002011-07-26T21:06:30.126-07:00Thanks, Michelle!
