In my experience, hobo bags aren't supposed to be interfaced at all - their floppiness is what makes them take their shape, much like a hammock. I may pick up this pattern and try it without any changes made, just to see how it works. Of course, I always feel the need to make my own assessment of the problem, which is difficult without detailed pictures. I'll probably be shooting myself in the foot (as a poor college student, I probably shouldn't), but I'll end up doing it anyway. 4/8/06 3:32 AM
