That's the pattern I followed. It's really easy, time consuming, but easy (even "muffin oak" :P could do it). I used charmeuse, but be warned, it frays like nobody's business. I would have gone with something else but it was on sale.
I didn't do the contrasting hem, I'm going to add one to my blue one and this one when I find a ribbon I like (on sale). For now I used the rolled hem foot and hemmed it that way (LOVE that attachment!)
Cotton broadcloth might work, be sure to wash it in HOT first. The stuff I used was polyesther so I'm not too worried about shrinkage. But if you have a LOT of the stuff, why not?
