Fabric required
Light to medium weight woven fabrics with a bit of body will work best, such as cotton, linen, chambray, wool crepe, flannel, soft denim, wool, tweed and poplin. Stable knits such as ponte or double knits would also be great. For the lining, lightweight wovens are best, such as 100% cotton lawn or quilting cotton.
