Today when dd and I were at Wallyworld (they still have a fabric department), a young lady asked if the fabric was sold by the meter or yard. I asked where she was from, and since she was from India, I asked her opinion. Her mother was there, and she teaches sewing in India. She said that all the fabric was very nice, and a better quality than what was available at Wallyworld. She asked if I had a budget, and how much fabric I wanted, and I first thought 5 meters, and maybe $40.00 She declared that I could get very good fabric, any kind, for that.
So, since I can't decide, and my friend is leaving soon, I'm going to give them $40.00 and tell them to get anything that Isn't in the yellowish green color family, and something that doesn't wrinkly too badly. I'm sure with all their extended family, that someone who is knowledgable will be delighted to shop for me. These people are so incredibly sweet, and they are going to have traditional Indian clothes made for my kids. And if they are too busy to go fabric shopping, that will be fine too. They can just take the $40.00 and buy toys for the orphanage that they will be visiting. They are taking 2 or 3 suitcases of clothes and toys for the orphanage that they adopted their daughter from.
