A wide range of materials can work for this pattern. Just remember that you want the fabric to be able to fold up into the little zippered pouch, so choose a fabric that folds down easily for a better experience with daily use. The thicker the fabric, the more room it will need when folded up, so you run the risk of it not fitting into the zippered pouch if it is TOO thick or heavyweight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eA good benchmark for weight would be staying under 6oz or 200gsm. If you are planning on this being your everyday go-to tote bag, then consider how your fabric wears and washes. Linen is a great choice as it wears beautifully and holds up well after many washes. Cottons of many varieties would be wonderful for this pattern; think cotton broadcloth, batiste, quilting cotton, shirting, etc. For an elegant, more elevated approach, try making your bag in an organza! Show off those citrus fruits you grab from the farmer’s market in style. The options are truly endless, especially if you start thinking about fun fabric print\/color combinations for the main structure and the bias binding.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eFor your zipper, you need at least an 18” (45.7cm) long regular zipper for ease of construction. A non-separating, closed-end, nylon coil with #3 size teeth is the recommended option, but not strictly necessary! You may choose to use a metal zipper, but be careful about the fabric choice as the metal teeth can damage lightweight fabrics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1269\/0272\/files\/Zip_It_Reusable_Shopper_Web.jpg?v=1786124202\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSIZE GUIDE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOne size:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eflat: 15.5” x 26” (39.4cm x 66cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003epouch: 4.25” x 4.5” (10.8cm x 11.5cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1269\/0272\/files\/Zip_It_Reusable_Shopper_Web2.jpg?v=1786124202\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1269\/0272\/files\/Zip_It_Reusable_Shopper_Web3.jpg?v=1786124202\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p1\"\u003eTECHNICAL SKETCH\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1269\/0272\/files\/Zip_It_Reusable_Shopper_Web4.jpg?v=1786124202\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IZZIE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43027683967072,"sku":"ZIP-IT-REUSABLE-SHOPPER","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1269\/0272\/files\/Izzie_Sewing_Pattern_Zip_It_Reusable_Shopper_Green_Stripe_Hanging_Front.jpg?v=1786124760","url":"https:\/\/houseofizzie.com\/products\/zip-it-reusable-shopper-pdf-pattern","provider":"Izzie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
