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
