What to do? What to do? Well I either give them all away or they go to land fill. All you will be paying for is the cost of postage and packaging. There is a minimal fee for the fabric as pay pall doesn't seem to like the fact there is no charge, but I've lowered the postage by this amount. I cannot guarantee what will be in your scrap bag, but there will be a lot of brightly coloured silk dupion scraps. The rest will be a mix of the odd, weird, beautiful, delicate, sturdy, synthetic and natural. They come packaged up in a roughly 4 oz bundle. Perfect for small scale craft projects and children's craft, the scraps will range in size from a few inches to about a square foot in size, but remember they are scraps so will be all shapes and sizes. I am not doing this to make money, the charges really do only just cover the costs, I just want to do something that will make people happy and encourage them to be creative! flamingnora Tue, 22 May 2012 20:23:29 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/3305822 http://folksy.com/items/3305822 Free scrap bag fabrics This Bird in a bag sewing kit contains more or less every thing you need to make a sunny brown owl.
