I need some clarification please. My sister needs a bag for all her medications to take to hospital every time she goes. So I have undone the dollar store bag & copied the pattern x2 so it will be reversible. My question is this: I will use fusible batting in between both layers but I can't remember if I put it all the way through including the bottom or does it just go on the sides? Any cutie to my rescue with this?

you can put it all the way through Lorayle, that is what I do, it gives the bag a better support. If you only apply batting to the sides, they become heavier and with bottom support, the bag is floppy.
hope this helps

you mean the 1-2 inch square that you cut away right? well That is how I would normally do it but I was thinking of making this as a box pleat bottom?

If you mean this as in my bag, then I cut the batting away the same way (1-2 inch square) so the pleat will not be to thick.

I should have said that I was going to try to make this bottom a box pleat my first try at it this way & here I thought it would be easier lol will this still work with a full batting pc if I make the pleats?
