Where do you get buckram?

[Kate XXXXXX]

If the buckram is for the base, use pelmet weight Viline/Pellon, the sew-in type.  Goes floppy when you wash and iron it, stiffens up again when it cools down.  Or you can get bag bases like these: http://www.u-handbag.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=224

Kate, "pelmet weight" is not a term I've heard in the US (I think a pelmet is like a valance, right--for going over a window?)--do you have a link to something similar so we can see what you mean?

Has anyone used Translucent Buckram?  A friend gave me a bit of yardage, It is only 5" wide, and has the look of buckram, but of a plastic feel.

For claification...Lady Kathleen, if you wet it once and blow dry it does that make it stand up to wetness in the future?  Also, does anyone know if any kind of spray-on moisture repellant would work?
