I will check the fabric stores tomorrow. I forgot about polyester gabardine, and somehow missed it when I went shopping. Probably because I was concentrating on the clearance aisles! Thanks.
Now, my vent. It seems pattern companies are including less info on the back of the patterns envelopes. This fabric seems to be 58" wide. The envelope only includes yardage for fabric that is 45" wide. Guess I will need to do some calculating before I hit the store.
My grandson has a mind of his own when it comes to clothes. He will want to wear this to church and school. I suspect he will be allowed to wear it to church, but not school. But that will be my daughter's fight!
