Fabric
Make the bag out of duck canvas, canvas, denim, corduroy, leather or medium to heavy weight cotton. Basically, any medium to heavy weight woven, non-stretch fabric will work. The white and blue sample is made from duck canvas for the bag’s body and canvas for the pockets. The white and grey/brown sample is made from denim for the bag’s body and faux suede for the pockets.
Listed below is the fabric requirement for each pattern piece. The bag and pocket pattern have a width of 47,5 cm (19”) and the strap pattern has a width of 5 cm (2”). This will help you determine how much fabric you need depending on your choice and width of fabric. Bag: 60 cm/ 24“ Pockets: 40 cm/ 16” Straps: 75 cm/ 29.5”

Optional: bias binding for finishing the seams. You will need 1,5 m (1,7 yd) of 4 cm (1 1/2”) width bias binding.
