i too thought the fleece on both outside and inside was too much so i use fleece on the outside and the same pellon that i use for the pockets to do the lining i also made my straps a little longer and a bit narrower dont care for such a wide strap on my purses. i think the reason they want you to use wof for the inside pockets is so you dont end up short when you do your sectioning some will do less others will do more if you do more it would make it short and not catch in your side seams but yes wof fab is a bit much. i do love your fabrics you used nice colors 2 of my favs
