Oh Dear! (AKA: the bite of the bug is itching, nearly time to start my 2nd X-Kilt)

[Kirika]

Ok, so I've been itching for a new kilt lately, my first one being the black X-Kilt I made with my mother's help last August. I had been thinking of purchasing a Utilikilt, but after browsing the forums for a few hours tonight, I think I'd rather make my own custom kilt, as that will not only be far cheaper, but it'll be something a bit more original that I made myself. So, my plan for this one is to do it all myself (eek!), hopefully starting in a few weeks once I'm able to locate and purchase the right material. That's the focus of my first question. I'm leaning towards a dark purple for this one, hopefully something similar to the color of this kilt. I'm planning on using the cotton/poly blend again. Does anyone know where I might be able to find a suitable material in such a color? Last time I just used the "Target" cotton/poly blend from JoAnns, but I don't know if they'll have a purple close enough (my local joanns couldn't get me the right material, so I had to shop a few hours away, otherwise I'd just stop by to check what they have). I appreciate any advice you all have, I can't wait to start on a new kilt.. ^_^

(I'll do my best to get some photos, once I actually start the process)
