[at-l] Fleece vs. Sleeping bags

[Valerie Henderson <vlh1@acpub.duke.edu>]

Wow!  I can't say 'thank you' enough for all the great responses I 
recieved for all my questions.  I've got so much to mull over.  The most 
interesting new possibility (got to admit I never considered this) is the 
making of a custom fleece bag.  I can sew and have my own sewing machine, 
so the thought of having a bag that actually fits me is very exciting.  
So, anybody have any good leads or how to's?  I assume Polartec is the 
place to start.  Does anybody have any good suppliers for 
camping/backpacking oriented sewing supplies.  I'm also thinking aobut 
making some stuff sacks and waterproofing them myself, so I'd like to 
know where I could by fabric by teh yard, long (sleeping bag style) 
zippers, and those little push thingies on the drawstring that hold stuff 
sacks closed?

PS  I say App-a-LATCH-an Trail, and I've never heard of a Frappee (sp?).  
However, I do know all about collards and real grits (so many people 
don't know the joy of real grits <g>)(none of that instant junk for me).  
Hey, has anybody tried dehydrating grits after they were cooked?  Maybe 
it would cut down on the actual cooking time.  Hmmm, might have to warm 
up the dehydrator this weekend and try it out.  Worst I can do is make a 
mess and Mom's not even around to see it anyways. <g>
