I am 85 years old and still sewing. I agree with the other writers - a cotton flannel would be best, and they have so many cute prints now. I still do a lot of sewing mostly making quilts using my old 1960's Singer 503. I purchase most of my fabrics online. Etsy is my favorite site to shop for fabric. Connecting Threads is also a good place to shop for fabric.
