hello to my creative pals!! i may have posted in here a long time ago or not... i can't remember. anyhow i've really gotten into the purse making and i was wondering how i could get my purses to be stiffer instead of putting something in them and it sagging out of shape?!? i thought of sewing cardboard panels into the bottom and sides but that seemed kind of tacky? and then i investigated my store bought purses and found the edges were lined with a stiff wire kinda thing. any ideas on how to make them keep their shape AND/OR where to buy the stuff for it would be a godsent!! thanks so much!!
