I should start a Scrap I have so many left over materials that were discontinued, I have a tone of beautiful fabrics. I wish I was crafty or could sew. I have given many things to local design schools.
I have a bunch or wool fabrics that need to be made into cushions.

i'm a designer and always have leftover carpet samples. i carpeted half of my 1700 sq ft loft from them and it looked great. my dogs loved having a carpeted area for their little butts.

What an interesting place, I wish we has some sort of resource like this in Chicago.
