That plastic canvas sound interesting. Could you post a picture of it? What do they call it? Thanks for posting . Brian

Sure!  The first photo below is a leftover scrap of plastic canvas.  The far-right photo is the first felted bag I used it for; because felted knitting has  -ahem-  "a mind of its own," I added "purse feet" (the metal disks you can see toward the top are the inside-the-bag attachments for the "feet" on the outside).  The "purse feet" attach the inside bottom to the outer fabric, so everything stays put.  The middle photo is the most recent example; to keep the purse feet attachments out-of sight, I used two layers of the plastic canvas, stitched together with the burgundy-colored yarn except at the corners; the bottom is attached to the outer fabric through the bottom layer only, so the metal disks don't show.

P.S. If my stuff looks too amateurish, let me know and I'll hush.

Thanks for that @JMixx. It is always interesting to see how different mediums can be employed into a variety of constructions.

PLEASE don't hush, as great ideas often come from these sort of posts and the people willing to share. Brian

That looks to capture the idea well. Internally without a cover may look a bit rough for some jobs but as drawn here it would be easy to work out the collar length needed etc. I am totally self taught and I should get around to getting some books like that as the terminology at least could be of help at times. Thanks for the compliment. Brian

You can incorporate linings , eithey by turning over the edges of the body and gusset onto a fabric before assembly, or by fitting a loose lining after body assembly.

Personally I would line each piece prior to assembly, as it would not compromise the size of the gusset, and would make for neater interior.

Thanks Harry.

I think that, that is what I am doing. I hope to make a start on some next week sometime and I will post some pics straight after.
