Fabrics recommended: for the exterior, I am using quilting cotton and vinyl. For the lining, I am using quilting cotton. However, if you are experimental, all wovens, such as quilting cotton, lawn, broadcloth, linen, lightweight canvas, chambray, and lightweight types of denim, will work.

Materials required:

1 roll SHH vinyl OR cork (you will have left over material to make more bags)

3/4 yard lining fabric  (generous in case of miscuts)

1 yd 20" wide SF101

#5 size zippers by the yard (32" total length)

2 D-rings, 2 lobster clasps 3/4" wide 

Optional adjustable slider 3/4" wide

You may read your instructions on an iPad, computer, or phone BUT pattern pieces need to be printed at 100% - DO NOT SCALE and do not "fit to page". Some people have problems downloading PDFs to their phones - so if this happens, please move to a computer.
