The Lip Shut Pouch can be made with any fabric of your choice. You should ensure that you interface and stabilize your chosen fabrics accordingly. For the designer’s prototypes, she made use of faux leather and denim for the exterior, stabilized with car headliner foam. For the interior, she made use of cotton woven interfaced with SF101/ G700.
