ukdame Intermediate FL USA Member since 8/1/08 Posts: 1820	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 11/18/11 8:51 PM I bought this " Carnival Book " Michael Miller laminted cotton more than a year ago and finally found a pattern small enough for a 3 year old. Problem is not enough. This lamiated cotton does not appear to be in stock anywhere now and at $15 a yeard I hate to toss it. Does anyone know who might have it still ? It's a brown backgrond w/pink and other color flowers. ------ It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another.

If you didn't just make it a little shorter then the pattern. ------ Galatians 5:22-23 The Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control.

It is sold by a site called Just Laminates. It is on page 2 and is being sold for $15.00 per yard. I am not in any way affiliated with this seller but do buy stuff on Etsy. You do have to be willing to use PayPal. I haven't been able to find the fabric any where else. Kathy ------ Sewing and reading about sewing are daily pleasures.

As long as it closely matches it should be fine..

Like hood, pockets , or sleeves. Here's a coordinate for $11.99: Laminate ------ Singer 66-16.

Just for any old reason. You could do that yourself and check them all out, that might give you some more resources of getting some more of it. That would not be all of them at all though, as if others were taking their own pictures/photo's of the fabric instead of just copying it from another source, the pixels would be way different in those, and probably just the way the little patterns and medallions in the fabric would fill the image too.

I hate to pay ETSY price but mjay have too since I already cut it out and am missing one front panel and one sleeve. -- Edited on 11/21/11 2:43 PM -- ------ It is common sense to take a method and try it.
