Default Fabric Swatches

Over the past few years there were companies that would mail out, for a
small charge, fabric swatches so you could purchase fabric from your home.
It seems most of the companies have gone to the more high end type of
fabrics and left out the " Grandma " projects for little girls. Any ideas ?
Being homebound makes it tough. Thank You

Shop on-line........they show you a picture of the stuff and it is very
reasonably priced at places like www.fabric.com and www.denverfabrics.com

LOLOLOLOL!!!!!! Joy, your sewing room must look like mine........mine if
15 x 15 with floor to ceiling shelves in about a third of the wall
space........and trust me--------you cannot walk through it!!!!!!!!


Only one wall is floor-to-ceiling shelves. Plus three
shelves to the left of the window, above the encyclopedia
case. The rest of the walls not occupied by the window,
door, and closet are covered with patterns hanging on brass
nails. About three yards by four. The architect intended
it for a child's bedroom.

And there is a clear path from the computer to the sewing
machine.
