Getting Started
From the fabric for the upper panels and lining cut the following:
TWO 24" wide x 10" high rectangles for the upper exterior panels
TWO 24" wide x 16" high rectangles for the lining panels
From the fabric for the lower panels (Aqua & Copper Mesa in our sample), fussy cut the following:
TWO 24" wide x 13" high rectangles for the lower exterior panels
ONE 16" wide x 15" high rectangle for the pocket
NOTE: Fussy cut to center the motif across the front and back, along the sides, and to match the pocket to the front panel. If you are new to this technique, check out our fussy cutting tutorial as well as our tutorial on how to exactly match a pocket to a panel.
From the fusible interfacing, cut the following:
TWO 24" x 13" rectangles for the lower exterior panels
TWO 24" x 6½" rectangles for the upper exterior panels
From the fusible fleece, cut TWO 24" x 16" rectangles.
From the plastic canvas or heavy interfacing, cut ONE 5⅞" x16⅞" rectangle.
