I have had the same problem, I went ahead and made them of a natural
flannel with red stripping around and i currently sell them on ebay. I
have also googled for hours. I did find the fabric at Yarrington mills
corp. there is a catch tho, you have to buy 55 yards in order to get it.
And you have to have a business. I am sure the shipping charge would be
very high. It also takes 2 weeks. I hope this helps, and if any one has
found it, Please let me know.
