I see now that I did put "19"" so they must have miss cut it for me. I'll go fix that! Did it work out well when you scaled it? I apologize for that!

I did notice, though, when I was cutting the pieces for the outer part, a half yard of fabric wasn't enough for the dimensions you posted, so I scaled mine down a little. Am I missing something?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13248500195618059674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514506062058329688.post-32037589149666415152012-02-28T00:36:46.232-07:002012-02-28T00:36:46.232-07:00Hi Jessica!

I suppose what you could do is create 3 of the bottom pieces and some cardboard cut in the same shape but about 1/4" to 1/2" smaller all around. Then sew the cardboard in between the 2 bottom pieces. Then sew the bottom on as directed. You would need to make sure that you leave a large enough hole when you sew the liner to the main fabric to where the cardboard bottom can be pulled through. Let me know if that doesn't make sense or if you have more questions!Amy Fredriksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797139493018190712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514506062058329688.post-3275552671011095612012-02-27T22:05:57.299-07:002012-02-27T22:05:57.299-07:00I love this bag!!
