Top tip!

For a lovely finishing touch, why not add a small piece of leather to the straps to cover the end?

MATERIALS & TOOLS:

1m canvas for the exterior

0.75m cotton fabric for the lining

fat quarter to coordinate with the canvas

1m Style-vil foam interfacing (Vlieseline)

0.5m G740 fusible interfacing (Vlieseline)

17½” heavy-duty metal zipper

125” of 1½”-wide webbing for the handles and straps

NOTES:

Seam allowances are all ¼” and have already been added.

When you read the cutting notes, when it says wide x long, that means that the panel will be aligned horizontally. When it says wide x tall, it means vertically.

Instructions will be given for the Style-Vil foam interfacing as we go.

From the canvas, cut:

14½” wide x 9” tall front centre panel
