-Documentation complète pour Hortensia
+To make Hortensia, you will need the following:
-
+- Basic sewing supplies
+- About 0.5 - 2 metres (0.6 - 2.2 yards) of a suitable fabric ([see Hortensia Fabric options](/docs/patterns/hortensia/fabric/))
+- About 0.5 - 2 metres (0.6 - 2.2 yards) of lining fabric ([see Hortensia Fabric options](/docs/patterns/hortensia/fabric/))
+- A zipper shorter in length than the zipper panel and matching the [coil width](/docs/patterns/hortensia/options/zippersize/) selected
+- (Optional) About 1 - 2 metres (1.1 - 2.2 yards) of bias biniding if you want to bind the side panel edges on the outside.
+- (Optional) Bag strap webbing double the length of the strap part with seam allowance and similar width if you don't wish to make your own straps
+- (Optional) Interfacing if needed to strengthen fabric and/or for the strap
+
+
+
+The amount of fabric you need is dependant on [Hortensia's size option](/docs/patterns/hortensia/options/size/). If you are uncertain of how much you need turn on paperless mode whilst viewing the pattern and add the bottom measures of Part 1 SidePanel, Part 2 FrontBackPanel and Part 3 BottomPanel to give yourself a rough estimate.
