I hope people don't think this is tacky but here goes . . .
Most (maybe??) of you know about my side business. I have decided to get out of it because I am too busy and I don't want to sew for others. I'm taking a page out of the Selfish Seamstress's book here. I did use it to support my habit but I don't want to do it anymore. Baby slings were trendy when I started the business and I quickly grew to a point where I either had to hire people to sew for me to squish some of advertising and promotions. Well, I squished it because I didn't want my business to get too big. So, I still have my site up and I'm still selling them but I'm planning on closing up shop soon. I still have a lot of fabric that never made it to baby sling stage. Do you guys want it? I buy it wholesale so it's super cheap. Several of you said you liked the blue one I used as a muslin. I'm selling it for $4 a yard. All of my fabric is cotton/lycra twill, sateen, or pique. It either has 3% or 4% lycra. It is all 60" wide. It's top notch fabric because I only use quality fabrics for my business. At this point, though, I just want to get rid of it. I am only willing to ship with Priority Mail because I can do that from the comfort of my basement. For 1-3 yards, the shipping is $5 because I can squeeze that in a Tyvek shipping envelope. For 4-6 yards, the shipping is $10 because I have to use a box. Right now, I'll put these three up for sale. It is not blouse fabric! It's perfect for dresses with body, skirts, pants (with these prints, yikes!), shirt-dresses, etc.
Here's a smaaaaaallllll selection of the fabric I have. You can see the blue I used for the muslin, the red I used for my Amy Winehouse dress, and a green that's the same print but a different colorway.
I can't figure out how to do multiple yards with one click (stupid PayPal or stupid me?). For now, just click on the "Add to Cart" button, another screen will pop up, and you can just type in the quantity of yards. I'll ship within three days and shipping from Alaska is amazingly fast. I've had packages go from here to the East coast in 24 hours.

Hi Dawn,
As a novice, I find your blog to be inspirational. These are the classic, well-made, well-fitting clothes I wish to make when I develop some skills. I read that starting off with making children's clothing is a good way to learn, so I wondered if your fabric would be suitable for jumpers and elastic waist skirts or pants. Would you be willing to ship to Toronto, Canada? Thanks for your time,

Dawn, could I buy three yards of the blue? There's a hitch, though; I don't do PayPal. Would you accept a USPS money order? Or my personal check? (Looked for contact information for you, but don't see it, which is why I'm asking through the comments.) My site is linked here; email is noile [at] noile.net. Let me know? Thanks.
Thank You!!! Just got the blue. Hoping there will be some left of the other two next week.
yes, of course I just ordered from you.....
I'd love, love, love some of the blue. Like Noile, I don't use PayPal. And like Anon, I wonder if you'd mind shipping to the east coast of Canada.

hi! I would really love to buy! But - so you ship internationally? If so - please tell how much for how many yards...
Thanks!
BTW - could you tell me what is a blouse fabric versus other kinds? I mean - How can I tell from a fabric desciption?
