RECOMMENDED FABRICS:

This pattern is suitable for light weight fabrics such as quilting cotton or linen. It can be made with slightly heavier fabrics too such as laminated cotton or canvas, but you may want to omit a layer of interfacing. Some of the interfacing pieces exclude the seam allowance to avoid bulky seams throughout, making this pattern domestic machine friendly. If you’d prefer a more padded bag, consider using a fusible fleece on the exterior pieces instead of interfacing.
