    Hmm... fabric for a 1930s dress?

    That is so completely true...it is so expensive to by "new" fabric to make stuff with. I am on a constant hunt for vintage or secondhand fabric...and on ebay...the mad fabric sellers seem to cut it up into completely unusable sizes...apart if you want to make a cusion cover! how annoying
