I'd like to make the cape from Little Things. I'm stuck on fabric.
I'm looking for a simple gray, over Grandma's festive dress. I looked first at home decorating fabric, but all that was a bit too busy. Corduroy maybe, but am not eager to fuss with the direction of the wale.
Is felt an option? Felt is washable, but would it also pill horribly? Are there brands anyone recommends? Also, would I need to worry about it stretching or not working with a cotton lining?
Twill? Canvas? I'm willing to buy online, sadly Boston fabric stores are small or nonexistent. Advice would be greatly appreciated so I can buy with a bit more confidence.
thanks so much, Denise
