I frequently use a micro suede or ultra suede if you can get it for the bottom panel and sometimes the side pockets(with the pull cords). I find it makes the bag more durable than using cotton. I also sometimes quilt the main bag over the decor bond. And I generally use webbing for handles...I use these bags everyday for work and lug large quantities of stuff so I tried to make the incredible design most durable for my needs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198394838876044945.post-1187339624636989622014-07-17T14:51:50.877-04:002014-07-17T14:51:50.877-04:00Thanks for these instructions -- makes it look as ...Thanks for these instructions -- makes it look as though I can actually succeed.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198394838876044945.post-42708750863340543202014-04-06T12:28:50.353-04:002014-04-06T12:28:50.353-04:00I'm making this tote now and will by trying yo...I'm making this tote now and will by trying your zipper method.
