girls night out - amy butler birdie sling.

Our 'girls night out' group is going to make these Amy Butler Birdie Sling bags. I told the girls I would post the material list so everyone can start looking for fabric (if anyone gets the Sunday paper and has extra 50% off coupons to Michael's or Roberts, please let us know - thanks!).

If using 44" wide light to mid-weight fabric (quilting fabric)
(allow extra yardage for matching or centering a design on your fabric)
- 1 1/8 yards for the Exterior

- 1 1/8 yards of a 3rd coordinating fabric for the Lining
- 3 1/2 yards of 20" wide woven fusible interfacing (SF-101 by Pellon)

Okay, I must admit I am feeling overwhelmed after reading the 'materials and tool needed' and not knowing what half of them are...I hope someone in our group knows how to sew! :)
