Went to the only Wally-World "near" me, 25 miles, that carries fabric. Looks like you guys have cleaned out all the gear-making fabric. I could have got some cotton with cute teddy-bears for making PJs or some such.

The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why?

I feel your pain. It took months of stopping in different Walmarts as I traveled on business before I found the right material.

I just go to the "real" fabric store. Tonight, I bought enough stuff to make a Summer-weight under- and over-quilt for 78 dollars!
WM sells only cotton, polyester and poly-cotton blend material. It's a rare day that you find anything nylon in WM, but the price is usually very good. The WM digital camo is a lightweight, low stretch material. Sometimes it looks like it has gotten wet in storage, and sometimes one side is faded.

It's been a long time since I scored any fabric from Wally World. My best score was about 12-15 yards of light gray Sil of which I made my SWT Clone. Also scored some silvery gray 1.1 DWR Ripstop several times and a dark olive green of the same one time. The new Super WalMart we now have has almost nothing for a fabric department and I've never found anything good in it.

Agreed: I made a major score about a year ago: 15+yds of 1.1 gray/silver DWR, 10 yards (ish) of a super-lightweight, breathable (almost see-through) olive...
It's all but gone now, and has been converted into a tarp, 3 kid hammocks, 2 overcovers, a test-UQ (insulation is removable/replaceable), and my bugnet (with 2 yards of organza).
Haven't found any more, despite monthly visits to the 4 in San Diego that still have fabric depts...
