I well remember getting soaked during the winter when we were dairy farming and feeding the baby calves and something like that would have been wonderful as opposed to the flimsy ponchos that kick up. I'd even wear that when out walking the dogs so at least donate it instead of the round bin. <br />I don't think one ever graduates from the University of Sewing. You can get close but there is always that one project that isn't what you had in mind. On the other hand the world is full of fabric waiting to be sewn so back to the design board.Lol! mssewcrazyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483324742899990956.post-84745095491432640762011-07-21T23:05:36.434-04:002011-07-21T23:05:36.434-04:00Wow.

I also have a laminated cotton from fabric.com on a roll. I have heard that the Amy Butler laminated cottons have better drape than the non-Amy Butler laminated cottons.
