5 out of 5 starsThere was an issue with my purchase not being quite as described, the seller responded promptly and issued me a full refund including the shipping charges. Very honest seller.

3 out of 5 starsNice fabric, but very difficult to sew with. I made a teddy bear and really struggled and I have been seeing for years. I will make a blanket with what is left and sew it to a flat piece of fabric like minkee.

Please note that we very carefully never stated nor inferred that this fabric was appropriate for anything as intricate as a teddy bear. This shop is a destash for store for Spongetta. If we cannot use a fabric or supply, but it still useful, we sell it at a discount here. We strive to write accurate descriptions and offer reasonable uses for the items we sell. Had this customer contacted us ahead of her purchase, we would have dissuaded her from buying this particular fabric for her purpose. There has been no communication other than this review.

When women had to give up everything else, hankies became the way to express personal style in the early 1940s. -
Always excited for find a bit of history like these hand painted Noritake cups and saucers from the 1920s. -
Sometimes our fabric collection gets overwhelming. This last year we decided to sell everything that requires matching. -
Love the simplicity of old button. -
Obsessed with old cookbooks.
This is the land of misfit stuff and an extension of Spongetta.

I love history and learning new things. Every object has a story including why it was created, what it was actually used for and who kept it. Most of the item offered here found us as part of lots at the auction or collected over the years.
