fabric scraps

[rm]

Do any of you all quilt? Or otherwise have use for decent sized scraps of beautiful fabric?

I've got a lot of excess left of the pale yellow brocade, as well as some of the white floral stuff I used on my Regency dress, and would be happy to part with it for postage ($4 priority). Honestly, there are enough large pieces of the yellow that you could probably use it as accent on a garment or in part to fashion something that requires relatively small pieces) with it as well. Post here if you're interested.

If you're willing to wait, there may be some pink with floral embroidery scraps soon too, although not having cut the dress yet I can't say how much.

ETA: This round of scraps is spoken for. Will post next time there are some (there's a third dress I'll probably make in the next month or so, so keep an eye out).

Would you send it to Canada?

I can Paypal you and you can send it "slow".

Yeah, no problem at all. Let me find out how much it'll actually be at the post office, but I'm sure it'll be about the same, and I'll let you know.

No worries.

Ooooo, oooo, real "New York" fabric. I'll have to let you know what becomes if it.

Okay, finally getting off my ass. Priority to Canada is actually the same price, apparently.

Anyway, if you're still interested, I'll be sending these out on Saturday.

*raises hand* Would also be interested in any leftover pink when it's available.

I've started this dress tonight, but I'm only on teh lining right now (which is just plain white, and I presume is of no use to anyone), but once I get the rest of it cut I'll let you know if there's enough to bother.

Will do. Thanks.

Any chance you'll post pictures of your dresses? I'm absolutely fascinated by your descriptions

As soon as I have them, yup. There's only one so far. I am working on a simple day dress now, to be followed by a tea dress I sketched out earlier.

I'm working with the Regency pattern from Sensibility.com, but I've been modifying it, both to deal with certain weaknesses I have as a semstress and to mae my dresses more specific (it's an amalgamtated pattern that captures the Regency style without being precidely historically accurate once you get into specific years).

My roommate is in a handbag making frenzy right now and has been culling random sources for scrap fabric. I'd be happy to send postage if you wanted to send some fabric. I'm sure she'd be delighted.

Sure -- there's really so much of this it's pretty easy to divy up. Let me wait until there's pink to send to you too -- first poster is going to get yellow and white floral stuff, second poster some yellow and some pink, and assuming there's a decent amount of pink, I'll send the last bit on to you.

Thanks!
