Where do you get your beads? They look like glass rather than the plastic pony beads.

"I use the fusible pellon on outside and inside fabric and the pockets.. If my fabric is heavy for outside then I use a lighter weight on the inside lining."
So not the armo plus fusible pellon, just heavyweight interfacing like decor bond?
I ask because some pictures I've seen look really 'puffy' ... moreso than I would want. I use the armo plus in my bags by Lazy-Girl Designs.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

if they were the puffy look it may have been some early ones with I used regular batting and quilted them. I have not used reg. batting in a very long time, .. always fusible pellon

I tried the lighter weight Pellon (iron on) found it didn't give it as much body as I wanted. I normally use the heavy weight, that I get a Wal-Mart that is $3.97 a yard. I started out last one with the light weight, and ended up ironing on another piece of the heavier Pellon because it didn't have the body I wanted. So what I did on that purse was used the light and heavy weight on the outside, and left the light weight on the inside, that is something that you have to try to see if you like it or not.
