Maybe, but I'd be boiling and baking it between wearings - that's the lovely thing about cotton, it doesn't require kid glove treatment in the laundry. Tube top with fabric straps and a facing of some sort at the top to help it maintain some shape...

Moot points regardless, as I'll never make it.

There are some cottons out there that are not mercerized and feel nice to work with as well (and aren't as stiff as Sugar 'n' Cream in the ball).

Cotton blends (there is a rayon-cotton that I have around here somewhere and I'll try to find the name) are the best of both worlds, washable and easy to work with.
