RECOMMENDED FABRICS
Like most of us, your Bestie functions best with some structure in its life. When selecting your fabric, medium to heavyweight wovens are the way to go! Our top picks are: 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 an optional lining.
