The Quickie Measures:
Closed: 5 1/2"wide x 9" tall (14 x 23 cm)
Open: 5 1/2" wide x 23" long ( 14 x 58.2 cm)
When full, it can be 3/4" - 1 1/2" thick (1.0- 3.8 cm)
Pocket measurements are provided in images.
Yardage Requirements:
(A ‘Fat Quarter’ is a unit of fabric measure in the quilting world and many fabric shops sell fabric in this size and shape).
Fabric
Many of the pieces are small and can be cut from scraps.
Yardage is provided to make the Case with all Pocket Options. It’s less confusing to provide one yardage measurement since many of the pieces are so small, they don’t impact the yardage requirement.
Outer (Main Fabric)
14" x 18"(35.5 x 46 cm)Fat quarter is sufficient
Lining
14" x 11"(35.5 x 28 cm)Fat quarter is sufficient
Contrast
7" x 18"(18 x 46 cm)Fat quarter is sufficient
Fabric for Bias Binding
A fat quarter will be more than enough to give you 110"/ 280 cm linear bias.
Vinyl
8" x 19"(21 x 48 cm)1/4 yd/m will be sufficient
Stiffener
23“ x 9“(58 x 23 cm)1/4 yd/m will be sufficient
Notions

Purchase Notes:
The Look
The samples were sewn using three different fabrics to add some contrast and to help differentiate between pockets. However, you can use all one fabric for Lining and Pockets or mix it up a bit.
Fabric Weights
Outer Case:Medium to heavy weight non-stretch fabrics.If you use a heavy weight for the Outer, use medium or lighter for the lining and pockets. If the case gets too heavy, it will be difficult to bind at the end or fold shut.
Lining, Pockets, Bias:Medium to light weight fabrics.
Fabric Suggestions
Heavy weight fabric ideas:canvas, denim, waxed canvas, linen cotton canvas.
Light and Medium weight fabric ideas: quilting cotton, lawn, and poplin.
Bias for Binding:Use light or medium weight fabric for the bias binding.
Vinyl:(optional if you want see-through pockets). 12 gauge matte/frosted or crystal clear vinyl. A heavy gauge prevents tools poking through and will be sturdier. Gauges can vary in stiffness but most vinyl you find will be adequate. It’s acting primarily as a window.
Stiffener: The case should be somewhat stiff to aid the elastic holding your case shut and keeping your tools secure and protected. It can bePellon 70, batting, Foam such asSoft and Stable, or even a few layers of fabric/canvas.

Each written step has the corresponding Time Stamp.
