Sizing info:

Skill level:
The designer rates her pattern as suitable for an advanced beginner. Some experience working with zippers and fusible interfacing is recommended.
Fabric choices:
For your choice of fabrics, the designer recommends using Essex linen, denim, designer canvas, or cotton/linen blend for the exterior panel of the pouch. Quilting cotton can also be used, but your finished pouch will not be as sturdy as with the thicker fabrics. Quilting cotton will work great for the exterior flap panel as well as the lining.
