Bay Area crafty PSA
i went by the Depot for Creative Reuse this afternoon with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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...

it occurred to me today that i don't know if any of this has been washed, or whether washing might shrink/warp the fabric. the idea of trying to wash all of this before sewing it (without having all the pieces get horribly frayed at the edges) is daunting to say the least. any thoughts?
