Perhaps this is a really dumb question, but the morons at the rag shop near my town had no idea what i was talking about. I have a pattern for a hat I want to make that calls for 10" x 5 1/2" Buckram Remnant. Does anyone know what this is? or where i can purchase it???? thanks in advance!!  oh, and the pattern is McCall's Fashion Accessories - M4607.
