What do any of you use - polycotton or cotton? Some polycotton can be a little bit stiff, and I see that Mothercare's dresses are of  100% cotton or 'cotton rich' but that leads to ironing, and I don't want to add to my daughter in law's work load if it isn't necessary. Baby is 6 months old.

I shall have to shop online as I live in a fabric desert locally, and have to be in a wheelchair outside of the house. Sadly, although I live in London fabric shops in the central area are beyond my physical capabilities now. This is the first time that I shall really miss being able to feel the fabric before buying.

I expect some of you will recognise my user name. I haven't done any sewing for the last 3 years or so following a serious illness which knocked the stuffing clean out of me. However I became a Grandma last December and I am getting the urge to sew little girl's clothes, which is a novelty to me as we only had sons.
