22 oz twill weave cotton fabric

Can't answer your question Bill, but how are you doing? Are you fully recovered and back to all your activities? Juno

Filson's fabrics are probably milled just for them. I would look for heavy cotton drill--I've found some at JoAnn's, but it was a long, long time ago. Sometimes you get lucky. You might also look at sources that supply sailmakers; this is a pretty heavy weight.

Good luck!

Juno, thanks for your concern and wishes. I'm doing well since returning home after 7 weeks in a local physical rehab facility. Getting stronger slowly as expected and walking with a walker usually and a with a cane for short distances. The persistent snow in Wisconsin keeps me inside.

The heart surgery went well, but the resulting inactivity gave my post-polio syndrome symptoms new life.

This month I'll be venturing down to the sewing room in the basement and start creating things I've thought up and work down the stash I've accumulated.

Happy New Year to you and the group with the hope that 2008 is better for all of us and those less fortunate.

Bill

You sound like you have a very positive attitude about everything. Keep it up, it's what keeps us all going. That and a stash that needs reducing. Juno

It's good to see you back posting again, and I hope that this new year will be a much better one for you.

I'll echo that! Welcome home, and here's wishing your 2008 is full of positive experiences, sewing and everything else!
