Tote Bag Linings
#1
Are there less expensive, but still good quality fabrics, to use for tote bag/purse linings? A friend of mine showed me one she got at a craft sale, that had a different fabric (light color), than the rest of the tote. What do you guys think?

Quilting cotton?
Cotton drill?
Canvas?
Denim?
Parachute cloth?
Really ... whatever you want to use!
Sometimes the lining is as pretty as the outside ... or can be done so as to make it reversable.
And too, depends somewhat on what the end use will be!

Sometimes I use muslin or drapery lining. I always face it though so it looks good. I also learned never to use black no matter how much I have of it, how nice it is or how striking it looks with my other fabric. I still think things are lost in the bottom of that bag.
