For the exterior main panels and bottom, you can use any type of bag-making fabric such as canvas, vinyl, or cotton. For the fap, lighter materials like thin vinyl or cotton are recommended. For the lining, I suggest cotton fabric. In addition you need fusible fleece, medium-weight interfacing, and optional light-weight interfacing.
