Wow! You are not kidding! That is a lot of buckram!

Isn't it? 6 yards of 60 inch! Best of all? $1.99 a yard. Even better? We had a gift certificate.

And it's the nice, heavy double stuff. I think it's the heaviest I've ever had...

So how many hats do you plan on making?

koshka_the_cat May 15 2012, 04:57:11 UTC

Lots and lots and lots and lots, apparently.

it's 6 yards--we did cut it down the middle to split it!

It's the really good heavy stuff and was $1.99 a yard, but free because we had a gift certificate :)

How are you going to get that home? And what are you ever going to use that much on?????

Twila and I shared it--we split it down the middle so the rolls were only about half the height. The shorter one fit in my suitcase, we carried the longer one on.

And it's 6 yards of it, so quite a bit. Lots and lots of hats, I suspect!

I don't think you have enough ;) and will it get it's own seat on the plane?!

koshka_the_cat May 15 2012, 04:58:45 UTC

Most definitely not :)

We did joke about that--buy a seat for one Mr. Buck Ram...

Wow, you could make a kite big enough to fly a human with that much buckram!

koshka_the_cat May 15 2012, 04:59:34 UTC

You definitely could! 6 yards of 60 inch heavy stuff :)
