[Nfb-krafters-korner] sturdy purse

[Henrietta Brewer]

Hi Cathy,
I don't like to measure that accurately. lol But I have been thinking about those other stitches on the loom. My Halloween bag was done with heavy rug yarn and it is very sturdy. I noticed it last night and it made me think more about double yarn and the flat stitch. I guess I can use lots of little purses so I might make a few using different ideas. Maybe I will get ambitious before fall and make the lining for a purse. 
Thanks everyone for all the thoughts.
