Fabric + Supplies
Fabric - Quilting-weight cotton is great for Exterior or Lining. Canvas or heavier for Exterior works well too. Customize interfacing selection as you wish.
Interfacing - Pellon SF101 woven fusible interfacing (or similar) OR ByAnnie's Soft and Stable (or similar) are stabilizers I like using for this project.
Zipper - All-purpose, synthetic zippers work best for this project. Longer zippers are used and trimmed to fit while constructing the pouch. Zipper by the yard also works great.
I love using plastic snaps for this project such as these*.
Bias Tape Maker (3/4") if making your own.
