Title: Have fabric, will trade!
Post by: Syrilla on February 01, 2009, 11:00:56 AM
Hello one and all,

I think it is about time for us to use and recycle some of the fabrics that we have piled up in bins.  Besides we all have things that we need / want but can not afford at the moment.  Times are tough, so lets swap!

Make sure you list the:
Fiber content (if you don't know, then say that)
Length
Width
If it's printed or woven
If you have altered it in any way.

I will go first. 

I have
2.9 yards
royal blue linen (I think it has cotton blended in it)
52" wide
No cuts or alterations have been done

Looks like this http://iowacityclothworks.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=12

Do you have something to trade?

Good idea, Syrilla, but I can't bear to part with any of my acquisitions. When I go shopping, I feel like I am on a treasure hunt, so I just can't give up any of my finds.

Trust me I know.  Passing on fabric, no matter what it is, is hard.  But we must help each other out in these bad times, and I know people here will give fabric a good home.

Yes!  It would be like selling my child...  :o

I find it easier to give away a sewing machine!   ::)

Me too. Kate!! 

I order or buy more than I need because I end up using it for other projects for clients or for myself at some time or another. Hats especially!!!
