Purse finishing


This colorful purse and canvas by LEE were put together by our customer Pat Collins.

Pat had a terrific idea for finishing.  The bag is canvas, but she wanted it to have a more rigid side.  She purchased an acid-free self-adhesive mounting board slightly larger than the canvas.  We attached the canvas to the board and then inserted the canvas and board into the purse opening.  The result is a canvas side that will not bend or fold.

Good thinking and so easy.

I love this. What is that bag? Do you carry it at Bristly Thistle? I don't see anything like it on the Lee site.

Very clever! Why didn't I think of that!?!
