The off-white fabric is 100% organic.Qreative Quailnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036670164364635810.post-66276759909393690122010-08-22T10:43:38.013-05:002010-08-22T10:43:38.013-05:00To answer your other questions...

I bought all the fabrics for my passport pouch at Gayfeather in Madison, WI, http://www.gayfeatherfabrics.com/.<br />2. I didn't use any extra padding because there's a lot of layers of fabric from the pockets already. Plus once you fill it up, it becomes a lot sturdier. <br />3. The pockets and zippers were very confusing for me as well. The tutorial I used (http://www.thimble.ca/?p=1443) explains it about as well as I could too. A lot of it involved using my own problem solving skills to make sure it came together and was functional. I wish I could do a better job of explaining it for you but at this point I would have to physically show you. Keep in mind when sewing the zippers use a zipper foot on your sewing machine. This will make it much easier. <br /><br />Let me know if you have any more questions and I'd love to see what yours looks like when done!Qreative Quailnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036670164364635810.post-80214854809264099082010-08-22T10:34:46.141-05:002010-08-22T10:34:46.141-05:00Hi NiHaRiKa!

As far as the closure, I would definitely recommend using the elastic. It was very convenient when I needed to open it quickly while standing in a busy line, with one hand, carrying my luggage and a million other things. I think a button would look better but be less functional and take too long to open and close. However, I think a snap button could work just as well as the elastic. It would be worth trying.Qreative Quailnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036670164364635810.post-56518554820262970542010-08-22T01:01:38.682-05:002010-08-22T01:01:38.682-05:00Hey!
