Staff Notes:
If using waxed canvas (7-10 oz.) for exterior, omit fusible fleece/foam and do not interface the exterior fabric pieces. The heavier the waxed canvas, the more difficult it makes this particular project to sew. If using canvas (8-10 oz.) for lining, reduce fusible woven interfacing requirement to yard total for backpack (strap reinforcement strip & front pocket pieces), omit for tote.
