Fabscrap contacted me about making a donation last month, as they're trying to raise the funds for their operating costs. While I was at the web site I did, and I ordered five pounds of their unsorted scrap fabric, which came a week later. If you donate at least ten bucks you get an embroidered patch like mine here.
My bundle had a few really neat surprises in it, like red and blue lace, stretch black velvet, a ghostly swatch of lining, a sample of metallic denim, and a gorgeous layered print.
Mostly it was made up of solids, including several quarter and half yards of lining fabric. I love these because they work beautifully as backings to my little art quilts. I'm also going to use a few to line some bags I make.
I got quite a few knit swatches and cut outs in pretty colors, too.
The linings are micro thin polyester, which has a very silky hand to it.
I love that Fabscrap saves even the smallest bits of fabric that the fashion industry discards. Anyway, if you're in the market for scraps, you can get five pounds from them for as little as $1.00 (it's a pay-as-you-wish deal). I paid the maximum -- five dollars -- which is still an amazing price for what I got. Thanks, Fabscrap!
