<P>I have been going to the real Denver Fabrics since they were on old Market street in LoDo back when it was just warehouse district, not the hype-chic yuppy-ville it is now.</P>
<P>Drool is not the word. 3 floors of everything you can imagine. about 40,000 sq-ft then. 3rd floor bargin bin you could get really good stuff 10 yards for a dollar. Of Course food luck getting it into the buggy<dating myself huh?>. actually that was in the early 70's</P>
<P>Mom would go there and a short trip was 6 hours</P>
<P>joy</P>

<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>
