To ensure your Iris mini bag turns out perfectly, we recommend using high-quality materials. For the exterior, 1/2 yard of cork, vinyl, or quilt-weight cotton works beautifully. If you are using a domestic machine, medium-weight woven interfacing will provide the necessary structure without adding too much bulk.
