Looking for textile scraps for art journal

[lenarenee]

I've started another expensive hobby - art journaling with a touch of junk journaling thrown in! I've love to have some bits of quilt or calico fabrics, ribbon and lace but buying new is silly because I literally just need bits and pieces. Also - paper like tissue, wrapping, craft, or any unusual papers, or pages from magazines. If you have anything you'd like to get rid of, I'd be happy to pay a bit plus shipping! (I've been to Etsy - an they're expensive for what you get). Thanks!

I wish you lived close to me (Kentucky USA), I would invite you to peruse my craft room!!! Maybe check thrift stores or quilting groups.

Many times I have seen scrap fabric bundles in Walmart's fabric section.

Yes, thank you. I thought of that, but I even those are bigger than what I need. I need the bit and pieces that people normally through out.

Are you in the US? Would small 1" square/triangle pieces of fabric satisfy? Would what would fit into a regular letter sized envelope be enough, or would you like more?

I have a couple pieces of heavy homemade paper and I'm sure I have cloth scraps, maybe ribbons and/or differnt types of cordage. I might even have a few different colored leather scraps.
I'll go through my box of stuff tomorrow and see if I can make up a small flat rate box for you.

I upcycle used clothing and have lots of fabric scraps, but no calico. If you want to try silk, linen or cotton let me know.

I will be happy to send you some. I have a few from my last mask sewing session (mostly black prints) that I hate to throw so I have been using them instead of bubble wrap when packing soaps. I will be making more colorful masks soon so that should yield nicer color scraps. They are 100% cotton (most of them), which I believe calico is as well.

Yes, that would be perfect!

Sure, I'd appreciate pieces you can't use - even lace. Honestly, I'm just looking for scraps to be creative with without purchasing usable fabrics that someone else could use. I guess that's a form of up cycling too!

That would be great Obsidian - I love handmade paper. Used to make it with the kids years ago. Pm me and we'll figure out a way to pay for that flat rate envelope.
