When looking for the pleather I found a couple of off cuts of shinier pvcish stuff.One is 18" long and is 3" at its narrowest and about 8" wide for the majority of its length. The other is 13" by 11".If either of these are any good PM me your address and I'll pop them in the post for you.
Sorry lizzielogs but it was what everyone else wrote that made me laugh out loud. I have some 'Jet Black Crushed Stretch Velvet Dress Fabric' I bought just before Christmas and haven't used and have more than enough to give you some. If you think it may be suitable then just let me know how much you need and I will send it to you tomorrow morning? It's a nice weight and great quality.Lizzyp.s.I didn't see that velvet may do until now.
I have some biggish pieces of black lace left over from my posh frock.It's quite heavy, cotton or mostly cotton rather than poly, but it doesn't have scalloped edges. You are welcome to have some of that.
