MATERIALS 
 
Fabric Requirements 
1 yard of 44” WOF medium-weight woven Exterior fabric (canvas recommended) 
2/3 yard of 44” WOF light-weight woven Lining fabric (cotton or stretch woven recommended) 
1/2 yard utility/nonstretch Mesh (you can layer stretch mesh over the top of nonstretch mesh if you would like to use a designed mesh like The Styled Magnolia offers!)
7”x3” piece of Foam (a few layers of fusible fleece can be used instead if you prefer)
 
Fabric Selection
This is a soft structure bag, and medium-weight woven fabric such as canvas is recommended for this pattern, though you may use a lighter-weight woven such as cotton. If sewing on a domestic machine, you can use stretch woven as your lining (which does not need interfacing) to help reduce bulk in the seams. 
 
Interfacing/Stabilizer 
2 1/3 yards of 20” WOF lightweight interfacing (SF101 recommended). Add an additional 1 yard if using lighter-weight woven fabric for the exterior that needs to be interfaced twice, such as cotton. 
 
Hardware
1 1/2” Hardware: (2) rectangle rings, (1) strap slider 
20” of #5 Zipper Tape with 1 zipper pull (or 2 zipper pulls if you prefer this look) 
1 Handmade Tag (optional) 
1 1/2 yards of 1.5” of sturdy webbing 
9” length of 1” fold over elastic 
4 yards 1/2” wide double fold bias tape
 
Other Materials 
Double Sided Tape 
Chalk and/or marking pen 
Optional:  Duct tape (if adding Handmade tag), Hump Jumper, Basting Spray (if layering a stretch mesh over a utility mesh for aesthetic design), Steam Iron
