    Default Correct material?

    I have many yards of this material. It is a wool/cotton blend. Would it be useful for anything in our hobby?

    Default correct material

    I'm assuming that it is a medium weight woven fabric. First things that come to mind are shirts, aprons, work skirts, housewives, utility bags, even for mattress covers. Wool and cotton blends were found. Domet flannel for federal issue shirts is a wool/cotton blend...not the most comfortable fabric to sew/wear, but it is authentic!
    If you plan to part with any of your fabric, give me a shout.

    If its the proper weight and hand, a nice day dress.
    Wrapper.
    Sacque and Petticoat.

    If its too heavy, then a nice paletot.

    I'm assuming the scale on that check is small--if its a 2 inch check, then I'd think again.
