Suggested fabrics: Like most of us, Bestie functions best with some structure in its life. When selecting your fabric, medium to heavyweight wovens are the way to go. The designer suggests denim, canvas, twill, heavyweight nylon, ripstop, leather, and vinyl. Though strong on the outside, your Bestie can be soft at heart: lightweight wovens such as poplin, lawn, batiste, and quilting weight cotton will work perfectly for the optional lining.
