*We have found Linen/cotton blends work well too!

* if using waxed canvas (7-10 oz.) for exterior, OMIT fusible fleece/foam and do not interface the exterior fabric pieces. The heavier the waxed canvas, the more difficult it makes this particular project to sew.


**if using canvas (8-10 oz.) for lining, reduce fusible woven interfacing requirement to ' yard/.45 m total for backpack (Strap Reinforcement Strip & Front Pocket pieces), OMIT for tote.
