hello and fabric

Sep 11, 2005 2 Replies

Hi y'all. I am new to this group. I spent yesterday going through Part, and I do mean only P A R T of my mother's unbelievably humongoid gargantuan fabric supply. There used to be a store nearby where fabrics were on rolls instead of bolts, and one could go in and tell the little old ladies, "I'd like a yard of this", and they'd pull fabric until their arms got tired. (I think my hoop=skirted, OVERskirted, ruffled, southern-belle prom dress fabric cost like $5, maybe.) Most fabrics were in the $1.00 to $3.00USD range. So, long story short, my mother has a crudload of fabric, some of which we would like to sell.



Do any of you make nightgowns? There is a ton of tricot, both smooth and brushed. If I had to guess, I'd say there's at least 5 yards of each one, various colors. There is denim, twill, and more. I had NO idea how much fabric was in there. Satins, quilting fabrics....AUGH!



Thanks L



If you don't want it, ship it to me here in the UK. I'll make sure it is recycled into costumes, bags, kid's sewing projects, whatever... ;)

=46or selling your fabric, consider eBay or one of the ad/selling newsgroups such as rec.crafts.textiles.marketplace. (This is a discussion-only newsgroup.)
