If you follow the directions for the bow tuck, the interfacing is heavy. I used cotton fabric and they turn out fine.
|
If you can't find the feet and want extra protection for wear on the bottom you can sew four flat buttons on the corners to protect the bottom.
|
I'm planning to make one soon and I'm going to use 100% cotton.

There are no silly questions. Ask away, this is the place, nobody has ever laughed at mine (at least out loud).

Forgot to say, if you decide to use buttons (large button and smaller one on top would be good), you probably need to sew them on with dental floss instead of thread. Much sturdier. I actually repaired the ragtop on my convertible with dental floss.

Like the others said--whatever you have at hand. I do use decorator fabric a lot--like the extra weight and patterns.
|
I've made totes with uphostery fabric. I tried it on a bow-tuck but it's so thick that the bows on the side were not very pretty......was too bulky
|
whatever works for the design I want. Even recycled denim!(those 80's denim jumpers have TONS of fabric in them)
