Fabric for tote bags cloakmaker February 26 2013, 19:24:29 UTC

I have 4 boxes of upholstery samples (usually 18x18) that could be used to make tote bags. They are not super heavy and are already serged round the edges. They were dropped off by a local nun who was doing tote bags with them. If I ship them, would they get used?

I'm certain they would!

We just sent a 24" cube of pieces - it weighs about 40 kg. There are some nice brocades and velours, so they can make some pretty things.

That's fantastic, thank you very much indeed!

Gonna boost the be-Jeebus out of the bandwidth on this one. I know a lot of costumers apparently... ;)

I'll let the troops know.

As I'm a bit far away to send stash (by the time I've paid postage I might as well have bought the stuff there), is there any way I can buy one of the finished bags?

Good question! I'll ask.

I'm in the Navy and stationed in Bahrain! This is great to know.

Excellent!

So I know it says anything, but even triangle scraps of holographic foil spandex? How big would you ideally want the scraps to be?

Sure, why not! I'm guessing, but I suppose anything over about 4" square would be welcomed!
