Recommended Fabric

For the outer fabric, use canvas (7-9 oz. weight) or a medium-weight cotton or cotton/linen blend. Quilting cotton is recommended for the lining.

Alternatively, you can use dry oilskin or cork for the exterior. If you choose these, skip the medium-weight fusible interfacing on the wristlet and avoid interfacing the exterior fabric pieces. Refer to the cutting instructions for additional details.
