Fabric price-Gulp- Oh my.
« on: October 31, 2019, 08:29:48 AM »
Was looking at the price for a fabric on this site and out of curiosity I looked at couture/designer fabrics came across this.   

How on earth does one summon up the nerve to cut this out :o.https://www.joelandsonfabrics.com/uk/couture/17991?fbclid=IwAR17WwQZFw5xDT_1vLuTZgVxHaipl89CMx5N4LUyqAniFTtrsoKJVWGKIxc

The fabric is definitely aimed at couturiers.  I don't see how even people who sew for a living would tackle that.

Hope it looks worth that price in the flesh, the photo doesn't really reflect that.

I often look at this website just to dream about affording some of their fabrics  :P

But would you have nightmares about cutting it?

@Sewbusy I knew, before I go to the link, which retailer you were looking at.  They are eye-watering expensive but oh, what a box of delicious delights!

The reason I was looking on that site, I have some of this  https://www.joelandsonfabrics.com/uk/fabric/faux-fur/16370  Same fabric, same manufacturer but mine has a slightly longer pile.

I have to admit to blundering in with my X- ACTO knife and being less than judicious when cutting.

Planned to do so many more thing with it but the arthritis precludes this so was looking to sell some.

When I worked in Little Venice I bought fabric from Joel but only remnants which had been reduced in price.  I could never afford their normal prices.

It will have to be wiped over with cotton wool dipped in unicorn tears.
