Suggested fabrics: 

Main: Medium to heavy weight non-stretch woven fabric such as cotton or poly/cotton twill or canvas, denim, wool coating. Performance fabrics such as water-resistant nylon could also be used for a more technical garment.

Lining: Light to medium weight non-stretch woven fabric such as cotton poplin, lawn, shirting or flannel, or wool flannel.

While sherpa fleece is a knit fabric, it is usually stable (non-stretchy) enough to be used for a project like this and would be super cosy for the main or lining fabric.

Quilted: Whether you decide to piece your material or use whole yardage, the designer recommends light to medium weight woven fabrics with no stretch such as cotton lawn or poplin, quilting cotton, lightweight canvas, linen and linen blends. You may also use a found quilt or pre-quilted fabric.
