Well....You could tie dye your own stuff. It's easy to do and good fun. I do a lot of tie-dying of my own clothing.

Tie dying is super easy. I'm sure there are some how-to's online somewhere. I would probably do it myself. Then you can make it whatever color you wanted.

Jo Ann Fabric's or Michael's or even Wal Mart could have this!
Would you like me to look around my area for it?

$10.50 a yard is a little on the higher side for standard cotton fabric - but if its hand tie-died, then that would make the price go up. If its exactly what you want - then go for it! better to get what you love at a higher price than try and find something lower and miss out on this one when its gone!

if i ever make it to SC or you come out west - i'd love to gtg!

i don't know yet if i am gonna go or not... my a/c is now working and we need to wait and see if the fix holds (stop leak) so its a possibility!

If you look up headliners on here you will see that some people have used cotton... who said it wouldn't hold up?
