Gentleman of Fortune Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 In the Fabric Whore thread, it was suggested that a thread be started to help those of us who have over flowing fabric bins to break our addiction. Or to help the fabric "have nots" get some good stuff to start their pirate projects. So If your fabric locker is busting at the seems, list the stuff that you know you are probably not going to "get to" here. ***NOTE*** As this is under "Plunder", all types of fabric will probably be listed. That means all types of pirates (Historical, Theatrical, and Festival) will be looking. Please try to describe the fabric as best you can, which should include fibre content if known, along with length and width and brief description EXAMPLE Fabric: Wool, Grey 2 yrds x 1.5 yrds I am not sure the fiber content, but it looks to be an old navy blanket. Would probably make a nice short Jacket. Free to good home, you pay shipping though $6? Something like that....

Capt Grey Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Excellent idea, shipmate! Now I just have t'fight my way into me closet to find any extra bolts I be lookin' to be rid of. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
Kathyrn Ramsey Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Just a thought but what if this was made into a sticky note so that it does not get burried...
HildeKitten Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Excellent idea! I should make an inventory of all my stuff! Maybe we should all try to make photos of the stuff we have for trade, there's plenty of places where you can upload them for free and link from to this place :) House of Secrets Incorporated Fashion and costume design For all your piracy needs

Patrick Hand Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 OK... this isn't period fabric...... But I make animal mascots, and end up with large scraps of fake fur..... the scraps are too small for me to keep, so I just take them to the dump..... But for someone that makes teddy bears or stuffed animals, they are large enough to use ........ let me know what color fake fur you want, and when I make something with that color, I can send you the larger scraps.......
LadyBarbossa Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 UPDATED! As of Sept. 2009, this is what I have: -Green cotton velveteen. 3+ yards. No stains. Looks great, just don't want the green. Will trade for blue velveteen or some other fabric, buttons, boning, lacing/trim, etc. Interested, PM or email me to work on trade. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Red Cat Jenny Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 All the posts here are from last year. Has anyone anything currently to offer? This is a great idea to get rid of what you doint need and find that which you do :):) Also I am lookinng for black, deep navy or crimson raw silk ribbon about one to two inches wide. I can't find it anywhere Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...

Capt Grey Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Let's keep this on topic, folks. This thread is specifically if you have fabric you want to sell or trade or if you're looking for something. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
wes1761 Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 Looking in the workshop as I clean I have found a bit of leather scrap, from buckskin to thicker stuff.........Free to the asking party, but I will accept a "donation" for shipping..... If it was raining soup, I'd be stuck outside with a fork.....

wes1761 Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 I could do a pair of breeches for my daughters doll!! Mostly smaller scraps, might be enough for a pouch, but I have not got it all together for a picture yet. If it was raining soup, I'd be stuck outside with a fork.....
jaded Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Looking for Rabbit fur - any one know where I can find that?
peglegstrick Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Have you checked on Ebay or Etsy.....one or the other should have it.
Silkie McDonough Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Looking for Rabbit fur - any one know where I can find that? On a rabbit.
michaelsbagley Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 If you have a Tandy store locally many of them sell rabbit furs cheap ($3-$4 a pelt if I recall correctly)
Captain McCool Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Yeah, the Tandy near me always has tons of rabbit pelts. I'd definitely recommend them. Also, this thread totally needs to be resurrected. It was a great idea.

angelgal918 Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Momma needs a new Robe A L'Anglaise... ...so she's selling/trading off bits and pieces to get some space and $. Heavy Duty and Upholstery. Some green cotton twill. $10+ shipping Pretty but not period. Black, Pink, and two matching pieces of Chocolate Brown polyester shantung. Some crimson poly taffeta. $10+ shipping The Big Period Pile: reclaimed blue and white cotton curtain with ruffle, some cotton prints that look almost 19th C, some other cotton prints, some printed cotton ticking. Good for a quilt. $20+ shipping (it's a good armload, so expect shipping to be a bit more). Bigger pieces to come! Paypal acct available. If you're gonna swing, swing for the fences...if you're going after Jaws, bring along the tartar sauce.
angelgal918 Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Just posted nine different yardages of fabrics collected over the years. Highlights include one 100% cotton, one velveteen, and two possibly 19th C/ Civil War reproduction fabrics, all enough for either a waistcoat, whole or front, or a full dress. Varying yardages, smalles is 2yds and change, the largest one is about 8-10 yds. Please visit my gallery for more! Will sell at $3/whole yard + shipping. Please bear in mind that the larger yardages will cost more in shipping. 8 yds of medium weight cotton is a pain in the butt. If you're gonna swing, swing for the fences...if you're going after Jaws, bring along the tartar sauce.
