I somehow got the impression that pin-dotted fabric is in style so it would be easy to find, but I think I was wrong about that. I went to the dentist in Berkeley on Wednesday and consoled myself by going to three fabric stores over there (Poppy, Stonemountain, and Discount Fabrics), and I wasn't seeing much in the way of pin dots.

As for the dotted Swiss, I asked Baltazor how well their $15/yard 100% cotton batiste white Swiss would dye. (Why is it manufacturers are so locked into the white/blue/pink/pale yellow colors for dotted Swiss?) They said they didn't know whether the fabric would stand up to machine dyeing, but offered to send me half a yard free of charge to test.

What were they thinking? Can you believe someone actually got paid to put
that combo together, but we have trouble finding decent fabrics anywhere?
Honestly, some of the patterns out there make me shudder!
