Mama's Everything Bag is sewn in woven fabric (fabric that does not stretch). Since fabric has a tendency to shrink when you prewash it, I recommend buying a little extra.

Mama's Everything Bag consists of an outer fabric, a lining fabric, 6 pockets, and an invisible casing for two drawstrings. You can choose to use different fabrics for the outside and inside or have the same fabric for the entire bag.
If you choose to have the same, I recommend that you choose a slightly thinner woven fabric but reinforce the outer fabric with a fusible interfacing (e.g. Vliseline G700) to make it more stable.

In the same way, you can choose to sew the drawstrings for the project yourself or buy ready-made. Here you will find a tutorial on how I usually sew my own ribbons.

The finished bag will be approx. 28 cm (11") high with a 15 cm x 15 cm (6" x 6") bottom.
