Re: [RC] Rump rugs - Stephanie E Caldwell

Hobby Lobby usually has waterproof fabric, they had white and camo last time I 
went to buy some. Seems like it was around $5.00 a yard.

For those of y'all that travel I-85 through the Charlotte, NC area Gastonia has 
one of the largest fabric stores in the South East. Mary Jo's is next to I-85 
at the Cox Road, Gastonia Exit. They have a huge parking lot if you're coming 
through here in a rig. Last time I went they had probably close to 100 
polarfleeces, cordura, suede, ultrasuede, nylon, wool, wool felt, wool fleece, 
etc....

Carrie,

Here is the best place I have found for all kinds of fantastic outdoor 
fabric.  The carry tons of coated cordura in every weight imaginable, 
as well as coated taffeta, ripstop, pack cloth, canvas, Polar fleece, 
and wonderful 4 way stretch fabrics for tights. They also carry the 
best flannel I've ever used.

My suggestion is to order several  of their swatch sets... they will 
give you an idea as to what you want to use.  The last rump rug I made 
was 160 denier cordura with Polar fleece 100 liner.  Easy, cheap, ,and 
nearly bullet proof!

I also have made wonderful Aussie style coats out of heavier cordura.  
My husband and I feel indestructable in them, as well as dry and warm!

I made some tights out of their windproof, waterproof, breathable 4 way 
stretch fabric from Malden Mills.  Tights in catalogs made of this 
exact fabric cost upwards of $150.  I make mine for $43

Have fun!

Julie
