<DIV>Or, another idea that I've used, buy the cheapest fabric at Wal-Mart
clearance you can find, cut it all you want, sew it with a basting stitch until
it fits, take it apart, then use it as a pattern. That way you're not
cutting into expensive fabric without knowing how it's going fit.</DIV>

<DIV>I went to the real "Denver fabrics" store in Denver once, I think I needed
something to catch the drool. 2 racks devoted just to silk *alone*.
Yummy. Not too expensive either.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=078540814-14052005>If
you are worried about hacking on something expensive, try shopping at the
$2/yard table anywhere and going for cotton. East side Wal-Mart has some
great stuff on their sale table that will give you a period look.
Go for fabric that is 100% cotton, not printed (not white on one side) and in
a color that doesn't make you think "That ain't natural!". Hack
away!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
