I was talking to **Polycarp** on the phone earlier this morning, and his wife, **Skulldigger** asked me if I knew of anyone who could send her scraps of cloth and some old clothes. She’s gotten into sewing, big time, and, after checking with her, I said I’d ask around out here. I _think_ she knows what she’s getting into! 😉 Anyway, I do some sewing, and I’ve got a large, neglected to-be-mended heap, so I’ll probably be sending down a package. Anyone else want in? Size doesn’t matter (I _mean_ it, guys, I really do! ;)) since the clothes will be cut up for scraps anyway. No, I don’t know what project or projects she has in mind.

Thanks,  
CJ

CJ, wanna email the address to me? I’m a sewer (sew-er) and I’ve got tons of fabric around.

I don’t have material, actually now that I think about it - I do have a bit. I do have craploads of old clothes. I think 3 or 4 garbage bags full. I’m having a yard sale in 2 weeks. I can send whatever I don’t sell.  
If you send me an address, I’ll see what I can do.

Have you considered getting a pushcart and going to the Lower East Side?
