Why Didn't I Think of This?

One of the customers at Bristly Thistle has come up with a great way to keep their Lee tote bag side rigid after their stitching is inserted.   It's very clever and easy, too.  I don't think the Lee leather bags need stiffening but the canvas totes have more flexible sides, the better to stuff all your worldly goods Inside (and your husband's, too).
