Sizing Info: Fabric Choice is Key: This bag is designed to be made using medium to heavy-weight woven fabrics for the Exterior Pieces and light to medium-weight woven fabric for the Interior/Lining Pieces. Fabric Recommendation: Outer/Exterior Pieces: Medium to heavy weight woven fabrics. For example: (faux) leather, vinyl, corduroy, (waxed) canvas (12–16 oz), denim, upholstery fabrics (jacquard, heavy wovens). Lining/Interior Pieces: Medium weight woven fabrics (e.g. (waterproof) canvas, quilting cotton) Stabilization/Interfacing: Fusible Fleece Interfacing is recommended for the exterior pieces. Medium Weight Interfacing also works, but gives a different look. Fusible Fleece will result in a more structured bag, Medium Weight Interfacing will result in a more slouchy bag. Optionally, use a light to medium weight interfacing for the lining pieces. Hardware: See Supply List on page 5 of the instructions.
