I wouldn't tbh - canvas is even harder to sew than pleated satiny stuff

I wasn't planning on sewing, just cutting a hole for the head and two more for the arms
OK, so it's not exactly Stella McCartney, but with the amount of cake that's being passed around here to take the dampers off an otherwise soggy jubilee, I don't think I'll need particularly sharp tailoring for some time ahead.
Hope everyone else is jubilating too!
