IMy project bag tutorial is now live on Youtube! Watch here!

 

Supply list:​

• Patchwork front: one mini charm pack or (35) 2.5" squares

• Exterior header fabric (this is the fabric above the zipper) and zipper pull: 1 fat eighth

• Exterior backing fabric: 1 fat quarter

• Interior lining fabric: 1/2 yard

• One 16" zipper (I use these), ideally size 4.5mm if you prefer a wide handbag zipper

• 1/2 yard Pellon 987FP fusible fleece

• OPTIONAL: 1/2 yard Bosal 2.5" gridded interfacing

• A tool to help push out corners, like a chopstick (I use a 4mm metal crochet hook)

​

If making a thread bed:

• Coordinating fat quarter OR leftover lining fabric from your project bag

• 1/3 yard 72F Peltex Two-Sided Fusible Ultra Firm Non-Woven Stabilizer (you'll only need a piece that's 12" x 8")

• Scrap of 100% white cotton batting measuring 10"x14" (will be trimmed down during construction)

  • I use Warm and White; I'd recommend visiting your local craft store for this!​

• Scrap of coordinating felt measuring at least 3"x3.5" (will be trimmed down during construction)

  • You can purchase an 8x11 sheet from your local craft store for less than $.50!​

• 1 set of size 20 extra long plastic snaps in a color of your choice (I HIGHLY recommend KAMsnaps!)

• Pliers to install snaps, such as these if you're ordering your snaps from KAMsnaps

  • I use this set I purchased from Amazon​. You may need to determine which rubber socket will fit the snaps you're using.

​

You will also need basic sewing supplies, including a zipper foot for your sewing machine, a rotary cutter, cutting mat, quilting ruler, Clover Wonder Clips or something similar, scissors, and coordinating 50wt cotton thread.
