SOS **** SOS **** SOS

The time has come for me to make a proper cover for Elvistoo!

To that end I'm looking for some ELVIS fabric ......

Something along these lines ...

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  

Something showing Elvis at his best ... in colour or black and white ....

Its a little known fact that the man known as the King in the later years was actually Elvis's obese older brother ... Elvis himself decided to turn his back on fame and after having trucks full of donuts and beefburgers delivered to Graceland for a couple of months unleashed his brother Reg onto the world.

Does anybody HAVE any they might like to sell??

Does anybody KNOW of anywhere (within the UK) that have something like this, and is in stock ???

It could be a duvet cover, tablecloth or curtains, Elvistoo and I aren't fussy  ...

Can YOU help ??????????

That first one (the Spoonflower one) is £11.50 for a FQ, but £19 a meter.  That's bizarre!

@Acorn I think the Spoonflower one will be printed on demand so the FQ price is probably mainly a setting up cost and not the cost of the fabric.

@Iminei Spoonflower also have a printing facility in Europe (Germany, I think) so postage would be not as bad you think and there would be no custom charges.

You could embroider your own design @Iminei - there are designs here, here and here.  Google turns up others, too.

Is it strange that I started singing the song as soon as I saw the title?  Maybe I need more social interaction.
