This item was purchased when I was taking a class at Chilia, a bead embroidery school. It's easy to embroider beads on, and the inside is designed to allow your hand to easily reach in. It's a fabric tote bag with an inner pocket, making it easy to use. - Inner pocket: Yes - Material: Fabric Thank you for looking. There is a line-like mark of about 7cm on the bottom, but it was there from the beginning.
