Hi Guys,
OK -- this is for those of you who shop for apparel or home dec
fabric online. I am looking for a source for knit fabric in a holiday
(Christmas or winter) design. I only shop for woven cotton quilt fabric
online and those shops have almost nothing that is knit! I have three
Christmas t-shirts and I want to add long sleeves & a collar to them so
I can wear them without freezing!
I haven't seen anything locally that I feel is suitable so my
internet hunt is on. I googled "knit Christmas fabric" and got pretty
much nothing usable! I tried "knit holiday" and "knit winter" and the
only stuff that came up was polar fleece type fabrics!
So, if any of you have links to shops online, I would appreciate a
link or two. I even tried Joann.com and they didn't have anything

Hi,
Try a search using "cotton interlock" along with whatever other criteria
you choose. I did a quick search and found several sites with solid
colors but not many prints. There is this one:

NAYY, etc. Just had a bit of fun searching.

Have you considered wearing a longsleeve crew neck (or turtle) shirt beneath
the shortsleeved Christmas shirts? I'm not sure that look is 'in style'
these days or not. I've lived long enough that trends are particularly
important. Ought to be fairly easy to find some in Christmas red or green;
I used to have one that was printed with holly that was nice to wear with my
red suit. Polly

Don't know whether it's in style or not - but, I wear silk or cotton
t-necks under t-shirts all the time!

I actually have several holiday turtle necks with kitties on them
that would work but I don't really want to do that. My plan is to
change the look of the shirts so they don't scream t-shirt. I want to
take the neck band off and finish the neck opening with a suitable
contrast knit fabric and also add long sleeves. If all else fails, I
will just use plain white t-shirt knit available at Joanns but I would

*really* something else. CiaoMeow >^;;^<
