JenHB Aug 2022 1:33pm, 9 Aug 2022 937 posts	0 JenHB Thought I'll ask on here - I want to make a memory bear from my Commonwealth Games volunteer polo shirt (and maybe trousers) so does anyone have a pattern they can recommend?

sallykate Aug 2022 1:35pm, 29 Aug 2022 10,211 posts	0 sallykate I am trying to think of the right word for basic cotton curtain material and failing! Is there a specific name for a plain, heavyish woven cotton?
Meglet Aug 2022 1:46pm, 29 Aug 2022 22,931 posts	0 Meglet Not sure. Would it have the word ‘upholstery’ in it? Canvas also describes a heavy woven cotton but perhaps too heavy for curtains
sallykate Aug 2022 2:25pm, 29 Aug 2022 10,212 posts	0 sallykate Canvas is as close as I could get in my head but in my mind it's a lot stiffer than what I'm looking for.
