It probably would have held it all!
Talk about wad of money, I went to the supermarket the other day. I gave the cashier $100 bill. She left register and went to the service desk. She came back with a real wad! I said oh no, I can't get that in my wallet. Told her I'd write a check then to not hold up the line any longer, I took the wad to service desk. A girl was there when the cashier went but a guy when I went. I told him I just needed my 100 dollars back because I couldn't get this in my wallet. When he recounted the wad I gave him, he stopped at 50 ones and shaking his head said, you gotta be kidding!
When he asked how I wanted my 100 in twenties or the 100 I burst out laughing!
Maybe that was all the poor girl could count by. If so, she doesn't need to handle money!

sllakin, I want to say I used Pellon 809 on my main outer pieces and both outer bands. I also used it in my pockets, for body. I made the strap 6 in, they say 8 inches, but that's too wide. The 6 inch made a 1 1/2 in strap, which to me is ALMOST too wide.
Be sure to show us yours when you get them made. I love purses!!!

No not really, this was a pattern, except for the lining but thanks! Glad you love it, I love this fabric and wish it was by the yard and not a FQ.
95240Excellent bag. I lie the formica for the bottom and the sides are tucked. Very nice.

Thanks Christine,if someone doesn't like the flat, stiff bottom, they can always take it out, but it does make it sit well.

Awe,shucks, t'weren't nothin'-lol
Thanks Kim. You think it would be okay to emb my trademark on the band? I think I could do that but I usually put it lower toward bottom and inconspicuous.

Absolutely okay to put your "trademark" on the band...put it anywhere you want...put it in both places!
313696Absolutely adorable. I love it. Such a cute bag. DebB
1461941781Another outstanding bag Toogie, but I have to admit I love all your bags. Great idea adding the bit of wood to the base to give it stability and also a place with a zip to keep wallets etc. Lovely work, love Chris

I prefer a bag that the body zips. However, when that is not the case and I use a magnetic closure, I add an inside zipper pocket that is large enough for the largest wallets, like my tri-fold ones. The formica I used in the bottom is actually thin countertop, but strong, and not heavy.Thanks Chris-T

Thanks and I do love this print. I just happened to have on hand the fabric for the band and also the inside fabric. Remember the monogrammed crossbody bags I made out of the fabric like the lining?
45917Lovely bag - and I agree wholeheartedly about the pockets!
140716Now that is more your fabric style. Amazing how the first two photo's look like different prints colour wise.
Love the bag.
