The main fabric is Aria by Dover Hill for Benartex. The polka dots and inside lining are just some Keepsake Calicos from JoAnn's.

Check Etsy for the Aria... I'm pretty sure it's discontinued.

The only thing tricky about the vinyl is that it wants to stick to your machine bed! If you want it to advance nicely, put a piece of paper under it, just shy of the seam. If you happen to catch some it when sewing, you can easily tear it off.

Be sure to get a heavy vinyl.

Yours turned out just super. There is another purse pattern out there with three zippers that I made and it was an utter nightmare. I love the coordinated choice of fabrics and zippers. Your daughter should find this a great and easy way to carry all that necessary stuff, and will think of Mom every time she opens it up.
