RECOMMENDED FABRICS

The Serena saddle bag works well in a medium weight quilting cotton, linen, canvas, vinyl, cork, laminated or coated cottons. You can choose one main fabric, or a combination of fabrics e.g. linen with a vinyl gusset or all vinyl with a fabric flap (omit the interfacing if working with thicker outer fabrics). See more examples of this bag style in different fabric combinations from my pattern testers over on my blog. 

SUPPLIES

You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to download this PDF file and a printer to print off 3 pages of pattern pieces at the end of the document. If you are unable to work from a computer screen, I would suggest printing off the instructions in a booklet form and on a faster print option to save on ink and paper.
