There's a store on ebay I have had good luck working with. Twillfabric I believe it is called. Search their store for poly cotton and you'll see a good selection of colors. Beware the "come-on" precut lengths of twil they sell at a low price, it is inferior to their regular product, which is available through "buy it now." The regular stuff runs about $6-7 a yard and is consistently good quality. I wash it twice before sewing. It sews nicely and is easy to care for. First yard shipping is high but if you buy a few yards it gets reasonable.
BTW they also sell some neat all-cotton stuff--not as practical from a wrinklie standpoint but their brushed canvas, for instance, is quite luxurious. Hard to run through a regular sewing machine, though. I think they also just introduced organic cotton twill to their lineup. They will also usually send samples if asked.
