I have some unused fabric that I don’t need or want anymore, so I thought I’d see if they could be of any use to you! My scanner isn’t working properly, so I can’t post them all, but the ones that are online can be put up already. Leave a message if you’re interested!
cocoa brown 100% wool suiting, 58” wide, 4 yards - $70
it’s deeper and lovelier in person! it retails for $26.99 at joann, where i bought it, but instead of $107.98, i’m selling it for only $70! that’s just $17.50 a yard. i love this wool, but i just don’t have any use for it in brown.
scarlet 100% dupioni silk, 44” wide, 2 yards - $35
again, this fabric is more brilliant in person - it’s lovely, but i used something else for what i originally bought this fabric for. as is normal for dupioni, it has some texture, but the slubs are very fine. originally priced at $24.99.
moda fabrics “fresh air” in tonal purple, cotton, 45” wide, 1 yard - $6
retails for $8.50. the color is truly a more blueish purple.
midas touch by ro gregg, 100% cotton, 42” wide, 1 yard - $5
retails for $9.50, i think.
gold on beige printed fabric, 34”x45” - $8
this is a pretty printed fabric that does not feel synthetic - my guess is a cotton blend. it is extremely soft with very slight slubs.
floral printed fabric, 60” wide, 2 yards - $12
this fabric has a very strong linen look, but it doesn’t feel like pure linen. pretty decoration in blue, green, and purple!
soft printed fabric in natural tones, ~58”x82” - $20
this is a lovely, soft fabric but i’m confused by what the blend could possibly be - it looks like jersey, btu it doesn’t stretch at all. again, i think it’s likely a cotton blend. one edge has been hemmed and it seems like this is repurposed fabric - so why not repurpose it again for one of your projects? the scan is crooked, unfortunately; i promise the print is actually quite straight!
black printed fabric with gold quatrefoils, 45” wide, 2 yards - $10
i really don’t know what this fabric is, but i am aware that it’s not a full synthetic - it’s either a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers, or only natural fibers. it has quite a stiff hand, sort of a solid medium weight.

reblogging since i’ve got the other photos now!
