Fabric Needs

Fabric needs: (You may have some excess for simple designs & layouts)
Exterior Fabric; 1/2 yd.
Lining; 3/4 yd. (Broadcloth is fine)

Fusible Fleece; 1/3 yd.
Fusible Interfacing; 1/2 yd.

Sewing Supplies and Notions

Notions:
3- magnetic snaps, 3/4" width
2 1/4 yd.-Nylon Webbing, 1" wide *Please note!-you need 2.25 yards of webbing, NOT 1.5 yards as stated on pattern back*
1 1/3 yd.-double fold bias tape, extra-wide
1/2 yd.-Single fold bias tape
3"-Flat Elastic, 1" wide
2- Side Release Buckles, 1" wide
Clear Vinyl for ID Window
1-22" Purse Zipper (***see notes below about this zipper!)

***Zipper notes; My recommendation is to use a PURSE zipper for this bag. This type of zipper is CLOSED at both ends, with TWO zipperheads. A PURSE zipper puts both zipperheads at the top of the Zipperpack, when the pack is closed. Coats & Clarks makes a PURSE zipper, however, it is not widely available in ALL fabric stores. (They are available at JoAnn's). I would suggest that you request them specifically at your local independent fabric/quilt store, buy them online, OR alternatively, use an 18" (or longer) Jacket/Coat zipper. Jacket/Coat zippers seperate at BOTH ends, and also have 2 zipperheads, BUT, they will be located on the SIDES of the Zipperpack (near bottom of bag), when it's closed. Your Zipperpack will be VERY functional with either type of zipper.
You can get them from me on my Sewing Supply page, or inquire about a retailer near you at:
