WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THE DOUBLE ZIPPED FOLDABLE BAG 

Fabric
Laminated cotton fabric 
is what I use here. It is basically a cotton quilt weight fabric that has been coated with plastic/vinyl material thus making it water resistant. 
Alternative fabric choice : PUL fabric, lightweight rip-stop fabric, shower curtain, or any lightweight water resistant fabric.


Zippers

2x all purpose zippers or #3 zipper for the closures 

1 set of button snap (12 or 12.5 mm)
1/8" or 1/4" basting tape
to baste the zippers.

Tools
Basic sewing notions
Walking Foot 
Zipper Foot
Leather hole punch tool

what you need to make the mala tote bag

FABRIC
Fabric 1 :  3/8 yard of faux leather/ vinyl fabric (54" wide). 
alternatively you can use cork, heavier canvas, denim, or other mid-heavy weight fabric.
Fabric 2 : about 1/2 yard of cotton quilting fabric. 
Fabric 3 : about 1/2 yard of cotton quilting fabric.

ZIPPER
8" (20cm) teeth length -metal zipper; for the front zipper pocket.*
16" (40.5 cm) teeth length - metal zipper; for the bag closure.*
all purpose zipper at least 8" (20 cm); for the zipper pocket
*you may substitute the metal zippers with purse zippers, I recommend to keep it consistent for both the front exterior zipper and the zipper closure.

HARDWARES
(4) d-rings with 1" (2.5cm) inner measurements.
(4) set of rivets; I use medium 5/16 (8mm) size.

1/8" or 1/4" basting tape to baste the zipper.

TOOLS
Walking Foot 
- I highly recommend using walking foot for bag making, it's perfect for sewing multiple layers of fabric evenly.
Zipper Foot - To attach the zipper
Polyester Thread
