Bitch Fabric. Really?

So, probably most of you guys don't know I run a side business called Cabin Baby Designs (not a plug but I figure some of you will want to see). I make baby slings (pouch-style carriers for those of you who know about baby wearing). I get samples from several warehouse across the country periodically. I buy bolts (30-40 a year) of stretch twill and sateen bottomweights. So I am constantly getting samples in the mail of the new fabric they get in. This fabric showed up in my mailbox last week. Really? People would want this as a pair of pants?
Weird and funny, eh? This is a bottomweight stretch twill in two very bright colors. Yikes.
BTW: I haven't been doing much garment sewing because 1) school just ended on Friday, 2) a large order of slings just came, and 3) I was a bit fuzzy (read: hungover) for a day or so after our year-end "no-more-kids" bash.
