--------------------------------------
We recommend using real or faux leather to construct your Busta. One exterior fabric can be used for the entire bag, or a contrasting fabric can be used for the handle and/or flap closure.
In addition, a stabilizer is needed to give the bag firmness. Decovil Light or other similar weight stabilizer should be used to stabilize the exterior of the bag but should remain outside of your seam allowances.
Waterproof canvas, cotton, linen, or other similar materials can be used for the interior lining. If using cotton or linen for the lining, the pieces will need to be backed with woven interfacing like SF101, Wovenfuse, or other similar weight interfacing.
Finished Size - "W x "H x "D
