Hmm...it seems you ladies would do anything for some fabric! My grandma gave me some fabric that belonged to my great grandma. She worked at a shirt factory in Pennsylvania from the 1930's to the 1970's. I know I will never use all that I have, but I don't want to just throw it away. I thought about ebay, but I really don't know enough about the fabric to list it. My great grandma died in 1979 (while I was still in my mama's belly) so all fabric is older than that.
I'm willing to trade flat-rate boxes, if anyone's interested. Things I'd like to trade for include aprons, shopping totes, homemade goodies...etc. I'd love homemade soaps etc., but my daughter is allergic to dairy and nuts and avocado, so I can't have any soaps that have those ingredients or were poured in the same molds that have been used for those ingredients because of the risk of cross-contamination.
I might be willing to trade for other things, but I don't need anything to clutter up my limited shelf space. 
Anybody interested? |

I've set aside the flannels and checkered fabric for you. I like everything you're offering, so you decide. Are your shopping bags flat-bottomed? Do I get to choose colors? Thanks! :) |

If you are willing to barter for some handcrafted soap, salve, whipped shea butter or lip balm. I would love anything from the 2nd "fun" photo or the Paisley print!!
Hi, Melody. The hawaiian and cowboy "fun" prints are already spoken for. The airplanes are available and so is the paisley. The paisley fabric may not be cotton. It is more textured than the others. Maybe polyester? I'm sorry I'm not better at knowing these things.  It is still available.
I'd love to have some handcrafted soap or lip balm. My only worry is about my daughter's allergies. Do you have anything that wouldn't pose a risk for her. I like the sound of the sea salt scrub on your website. That might be a safe alternative if you're willing. Let me know. |

This first picture shows all of the fabric I have. The third column is mostly flannel, but I think most everything else is regular cotton. You can see some tags on the bottom row. They don't mean anything to me, but maybe one of you will think that's special.
The second picture just shows you some of the fun designs.
If you see something that catches your eye, let me know. Otherwise, I'll just stuff the boxes randomly.
Thanks, ladies! |
