No, You Can't Have Any

Because glorious Twinnie sent all these fabric remnants to me.*  All this and nowhere to buy patterns for Barbie clothes. . .

My mother could stretch fabric (or as we called it, "material") extremely far.  I was lucky if there was a piece big enough for even a vest.  She would make garments, self belts, cover buttons, then cut quilt pieces.  Seriously --- a very thin strip is all I had to work with sometimes.  My Barbies had lots of tie belts and scarves.


*Remnant House was a store where we bought lots of material.  Fabric.   Whichever.
