I think that would be to heavy and would wear out faster, Yolanda. It's to loose a weave usually, the flannel.

My son is my hero and will soon retire, hopefully. 21 and a half years so far, but he was still going hard at it when I visited last month. He's been in the line of fire to many times since he joined in '88.

IF y'all want to make them and send them to me, just pm and I'll mail them to a unit. I'll give my address in private messages. Thanks for all that you do for our troops.

Thanks. I will stick to cotton. I am going to send to my friends sons (Kilo Company) or my boyfriends sons unit.

And thanks to your hero (and his mom!) for his years of service :-)

Hi Fran, yes, they are the same. I get mine from Lowes when I'm running short on the big orders we get. It's called Soil Moist and it's in the outdoor garden center. Not that I buy that much........ :lol: :lol:

One more question regarding the fabric; I have a lot of left over denim from rag quilts I used to make for dialyses patients. Would demin also be too heavy?

Tell me how many you are making or want me to make. I've got some fabric here. I know how it is when you work AND try to do things like this. I've done them a long time and I have helpers that will turn them for me. ;)
