i went by the
Depot for Creative Reuse this afternoon with
pumapreysize. meant to stop by and rifle through their fabric-pile quickly before going on to other fabric-shops...but:
the Depot has many boxes of tie silk swatches (maybe 6" x 12", or a little larger) for sale, cheap. (i got a 12"x12"x18" box mostly-full for $20.) they're being picked through pretty rapidly, but there's some neat stuff there.
...
simplykimberly,
snowninja7 -- could i maybe come hang out & use your sewing machine/serger sometime soon? ya see, i've got all this tie silk...
