Hi Molly,
You can get cotton from any marine fabricator , but I am not sure why you would spend the time, effort and your skills on a boat cover material that will rot on you. Sunbrella has the look and feel of real cloth, but will last for many years and comes in a variety of colors that will compliment your boat.
There is pre shrunk cotton called sunforger that comes in 4 colors. I think this is what you are looking for, but over time you will get spots of mildew and overtime the mildew will cause faliure as it degrades and basically eats the fabric.
I hope this is what you are asking. Feel free to post a follow up question
