I just took a short little jaunt across town to Denver Fabrics. "No big deal," I thought, "Just a few yards of fabric and some needles for the machine." Delusional, I was. Almost $200 later, I left with a lot of "notions," 8 yards of a very heavy black bull denim, 5 1/4 of a dark indigo denim (both fairly heavy and will hang beautifully, and 10 yards of a poly/ rayon fabric in a tartan that I have yet to identify. (I'll post a pic in the heraldry and tartans section, but I'm pretty sure it's just a generic.) The tartan material, unfortunately is very light. It does, however, have a kilting selvedge. I think that it will make a couple of really nice lightweight summer kilts. Also, my wife likes the job I've done on my kilts so much that included in my purchases ended up being fabric to make a skirt for her. I have a hell of a lot of sewing to do.

BTW- those of you wanting a good source for fairly inexpensive bull denim, denverfabrics.com is their online store.
