VINYL works great on this bag - including using it for the body, flaps, and even the strap. Cork, Canvas, upholstery fabrics, and quilting cotton ALL work great for this bag. 

Finished bag size is approx 12" x 10.5" x 2.5"

Materials needed:

1 YD exterior fabric (less if you are ok with piecing your gusset. If using vinyl or cork, 1 roll will work (18x56).

1 YD lining fabric (same as above)

1/2 YD coordinating fabric

(3) pocket zippers 8" length or longer

(1) magnetic closure *I prefer 3/4" size / or sub your preferred closure

SF101 woven interfacing 2 YDS if using the most readily available 20" width

Foam interfacing is optional 1 YD  *Usually, I don't need this if I'm using vinyl or cork for my exterior

(2) D-rings 3/4" width

(1) sewable leather strap 3/4" found here

Scrap of 10 gauge clear vinyl (1) piece 5" SQ if making the pocket; if making a vinyl flap you'll need an additional piece at least 12" x 12"
