• Two 7-1/2" x 9-1/2" pieces of lightweight fusible interfacing per bag
• One 11" Zipper per bag

Note: Please read through all of the instructions before beginning. All of the seam allowances are 1/4" unless
otherwise noted. Width of fabric (WOF) is equal to at least 42" wide. Press all seam allowances open
after each seam is sewn, unless otherwise noted.

Remember to measure twice and cut once! The termRST meansRight Sides Together. Interfacing is a personal
preference. Heavier interfacing will make for a stiffer bag while a lighter interfacing will make a softer bag.

Step 3. Mark and cut out a 1-1/2" square the bottom corners of each outside piece. Repeat with Fabric C lining pieces.
