FABRIC SUGGESTIONS - Suitable for a wide variety of fabrics. From soft wovens such as needlecord, linen and blends, chambray, soft twill and viscose (rayon); to low stretch knits such as French terry and ponte roma.

Where using a relatively thick fabric such as needlecord, makers should choose a light to medium-weight cotton for the bib lining (and pockets if they like) – otherwise they can use the main fabric for the lining too.
