I seem to remember receiving something from a sewing shop that needed packing, and they had used pattern pieces to do it, so that's maybe how they get rid of them.

Happened to me too.  I was excited until I smoothed out the sheets.  Of course, they wouldn't use anything that I might like as padding.

Ebay. Lots to choose from. Pricing all over the place.

Mom started an oil painting in the 80's from a picture in a 1970's "coffee table book" from our local library. I've always wanted the painting and she just decided to finish it. She wanted me to go find the book. Our libraries have yearly sales purging such things every year. Oy vey!

Ebay. $6.95. Recieved in 2 days.

Thanks @Esme866 but I think the postage to the UK would be a bit pricey. I’ve looked on EBay Uk site and the prices there are ridiculously high for the 2 that were available when I looked.

My local fabric shop sells the old catalogues for £5 each.
