Shopping List:
– Hardware:
- 2 x 3” (8 cm) ‘O’ rings (could substitute for 2-2 2 ½” rings also). I like metal rings however you could try acrylic rings or even bangles! Think outside the square for a unique look.
- 1 x magnetic snap
– Fabric: I like to use mid weight cottons such as cotton/linen blends, cotton duck or similar. They tend to hold form and wrinkle less than light weight cottons in this bag. You could also use mid weight denim.

- 40” (100cm) length lining body fabric x 44” (112cm) Wide
