Hi,
You have great ideas there. You reminded me of a shop in Dublin years ago that used to sell gorgeous clothes made from damask bedlinen & tablecloths, and brocade and velvet curtains. I had a pirate shirt (well, it was the 1980's!) made from a duvet cover (or tablecloth), when they're made up and dyed they look great. I had a fabulous jacket too made in 2 kinds of brocade. They remodelled dinner jackets and leather coats into figured jackets. And they used to trim and bag up the really small offcuts and sell them as facewipes, they wasted nothing. It was a great place.
Thanks for the ideas, Mandolin.
