FWIW, I was in Target (oh, pardon me, I mean Tar-zhay!) :-) today and admired some lovely robin's-egg blue 100% cotton velvet curtain panels (made in China, of course). I wondered what I could make out of them. $14.99 for a panel 40" x 84" (I think) doesn't work out too badly. Hope this helps!

I was searching for a nice blue-green cotton velvet and was surprised at the lack of options. I went to Hancock's first, they had NO fashion velvet of any kind. They had 3 rolls of upholstery velvet, nice stuff, in black, brown and red. Hobby Lobby had no upholstery velvet, and cheap acrylic fashion velvet in black, navy and red. I found some medium turquoise on the clearance rack and bought that. It might work, and it was cheap enough. Joann's had the requisite cheap acrylic velvet in red and black, and no upholstery velvet. Lots of chenille, no velvet. So what is it with velvet these days? The acrylic stuff just gets crappier and crappier and I can't find simple cotton anywhere.
