Sun & Run Tote Hardware & Supplies

This is pattern is designed for use with Vinyl Bag Mesh and Waterproof or Water-resistant canvas. Using mesh helps keep the bag breathable and lightweight. If you prefer, you can omit the mesh and use waterproof or water-resistant canvas in its place. No interfacing or stabilizer is needed.

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

If you prefer to make your own handles instead of using webbing, you’ll need extra canvas.
