They have some nice cotton shirting for $2/yd. I kid you not. <br /><br />Metro Textiles has a LOT of stuff for $4/yd: excellent quality too. You might start with Metro, actually. Their selection is quite good.Peter Lappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109154527996679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-47124925762979752072010-03-21T11:11:00.473-04:002010-03-21T11:11:00.473-04:00Well, all my nesting instincts seemed to have gott...Well, all my nesting instincts seemed to have gotten channeled into sewing... but we really DO need to get that nursery going in the next few weeks, although she'll be sleeping in our room for the first four to six months...Mikhaela Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817367214920267825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-5599109778616075642010-03-21T11:08:11.259-04:002010-03-21T11:08:11.259-04:00Those are some awesome costumes you've constru...Those are some awesome costumes you've constructed! And the Kwik Sew model is cute (for a change). I'm really impressed by the amount of energy you are bringing to sewing so close to having a baby. Seriously, I was a sick, miserable wreck who always felt vaguely invaded by an alien. (Note: Now my baby is 10 and she's much more human seeming :-))K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.com
