Iris Shoulder Bag Hardware & Supplies

This bag works best with faux leather, suede, or vinyl as non-fraying fabric is required for the gusset and zipper overlays. Quilting cotton with proper interfacing, waterproof canvas, or water-resistant canvas or fabric can be used for the lining. Use foam stabilizer for the quilted front panel and Decovil Light for all other stabilizer pieces.

Fabric yardage is an estimate and may vary based on directional prints, fabric width, multiple exterior fabrics, pattern alterations, and cutting layout.

Woven interfacing is recommended for quilting cotton or for vinyl, faux leather, and faux suede with one-way stretch.
