**About Zippers: We highly recommend #4.5 handbag zippers for beginners. These have a wider tape, making them easier to install. All-purpose zippers (size #2 or #3) have a narrower zipper tape.
Recommended Materials:
– We recommend using quilting weight cotton or similar.
– We use fusible interfacing to add stiffness and structure to the bag. If you are using a heavier fabric, such as home decorator weight or canvas, you may want to eliminate the fusible interfacing.
Notions Needed:
– (1) spool of thread
