Fabric off-cuts

Nicola from Mount Wellington

Hi! I am currently clearing out a storage unit and have fabric off-cuts available. They are a mix of wovens and stretches and sometimes laces and fancier fabrics. They measure anywhere from about 50cm to 2m or so. Would anyone be interested or know of a group interested in taking these for either … View moreHi! I am currently clearing out a storage unit and have fabric off-cuts available. They are a mix of wovens and stretches and sometimes laces and fancier fabrics. They measure anywhere from about 50cm to 2m or so. Would anyone be interested or know of a group interested in taking these for either sewing classes or a community group? The large bags are mixed and there will be a few bags available. Thanks.

Pi, also known by the Greek letter “π,” is a constant value used in math that represents the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter, which is just about 3.14….15…9265359… (and so on). Not only that, but the fourteenth of March is also Albert Einstein’s birthday, so all together it’s nothing short of a mathematician’s delight.
