- Thinner woven fabric such as honeycomb, linen or rip stop (nylon parachute fabric) for a "soft bag" effect or to be interfaced with a thick interlining.

Fabric Requirements
- Fusible interlining: woven (Vlieseline G700), non-woven (Vlieseline H200) or wadded woven (Vlieseline H630 or H640), depending on the desired effect. If you are unsure about your first attempt, choose a wadded interlining. Please note that if your fabric is already quilted, there is no need for interfacing as the fabric already has some hold.
- Closed end (non-detachable) zipper: metal or nylon (standard length or chain), 1 for the center opening (with 1 or 2 sliders) and 1 or 2 optional for the outside pockets (with one slider)
- Optional thick 40mm wide webbing (or 30mm ) for the handles and the shoulder strap in cotton or polyester (softer).
- Optional 2 fastening buckles and 1 sliding buckle for the shoulder strap, all buckles adapted in size to the width of the webbing (often we use a buckle between 38 and 40mm for a 40mm wide shoulder strap).
- Optional 2 hooks to make the shoulder strap removable.
Fabrics (outer and lining) 140 cm = 55'' width.
