Q Valley - when I was sewing this I realized it had a nice look, like faux leather. I was really pleased because I thought it would look like sewn cereal box lol. It looks wonderful on me, but if you looked at it lying on a table you'd know it's gift bags because it's thin, and it's so stiff it can't lay flat. 8/10/11 11:15 AM
