The fabric is a cotton and rayon chenille. It frays terribly but my serger took care of that problem. I chose which side to place where and i decided to put the pile padding against the looms in transport to classes and demo's and fairs etc. saves the blanketing of each loom in the bed of my truck.
I scoured my zipper stash and the only heavy duty zips I had were white, and the fabric was a wee bit to short so i had some cotton velveteen I doubled to make gussets. At least the colors were neutral so they blended.Took advantage of the selvages and ran a nylon cord through a top channel , squared off the bag bottom . I had bought some nylon web for my stash straps so I made generous handles , I can reach the handles from the tail gate of the truck now with out always climbing up. I was finished before 4:00 am. I like a solid plywood insert in each bag so tomorrow to the lumber yard to have them cut to measure the bottoms.
