The material I have used for crafting and sewing the backpack is polyester canvas and same material is used for the lining. Difference in lining and main front body of the bag is that I have fused the fabric of lining fabric with very lightweight fusible interfacing and for the main body I have sewn polyester sheet to the fabric to give extra strength and sturdiness. You can use fusible fleece of polyester sheet as per your liking and availability of materials.
