Approximate finished size: 11½" x 13½" x 4½"

Suitable for: Confident Beginner

Materials Required:

  • (2) zippers by the yard measuring 10" long + 2 pulls Number 5 preferred but other sizes are OK
  • (2) D-rings 1" width
  • (1) magnetic snap (optional)
  • (1) acrylic chain for strap - we stock these at sewhungryhippie.com
  • 1 roll Sew HungryHippie vinyl 18x 52"
  • 1 pack WRC OR you can use quilting cotton (1/2 yd) + 1/2 yd for pockets
  • Steam a Seam 2 (a 12" square piece)

It's a nice bag to use printed vinyl that is a little stiffer, since there is no turning right side out aka "birthing" the bag.

If using fabric for this bag and not vinyl or cork, I recommend interfacing with By Annie foam for structure.
