The Bag Making Bible. Lisa Lam
Need to know
Heavier weight fabrics for the exterior are not recommended; medium weight fabric is best because there will be quite a few layers to work with at the top edge of the bag.
Choose three fabrics that are all the same weight.
As long as you are consistent, it doesn’t matter which fabric is interfaced with the fusible interfacing and which fabric is interfaced with the fusible fleece.
All seam allowances are 1cm (3⁄8in) unless stated otherwise.
Pattern pieces are given in the pull-out section and include the 1cm (3⁄8in) seam allowance.

• 1 piece of medium weight fabric for contrast binding, base and button closure, 50cm (1⁄2yd) x 112cm (44in) wide
• Medium weight woven fusible interfacing, 50cm (1⁄2yd)
