    Default Fabric question?

    I want (okay need LOL) to make myself some shorts and I want that khaki type fabric, you know light weight but wears well. Does anyone know what it is called in a fabric store? I want to go on line and look it up so I know how much I'll need when I go shopping. TIA

    Cotton twill. If it is a cotton/poly blend it will not wrinkle as much.

    yeah I'd go for a cotton twill...its nice and even better there are stretch cotton twill which is nice looking and comfortable to wear (just made some maternity pants and they are GREAT!)
