So, I still have a lot of fabrics and supplies to try to send on to useful lives, but I am not prepared to donate it just yet.
I have been told to try Poshmark for selling online.

Mainly I’ll start with pre-cut bridal laces, appliqués both with and without beads and sequins, and a few pre-made pieces like boleros / toppers/ sleeves that can work with strapless dresses.

Anyone have any other suggestions for online sales?

I do have a page on my website already listing items for sale, and will bump it to a more visible spot…

Quickly wrote up this today as I finished < fingers crossed, nothing changes at pick up later this week> this client project:

Another #redesign project from a few years back took Grandma’s dress and make it new. They shared photos of the first wedding, and mom wearing it too, and then my client.

This week I'll be cutting out a dress and jacket, co-designed with the Mom of Groom, using the #satin #jacquard from her mother's #wedding dress and some lilac #silk her son - the groom - brought her years ago from a trip to Thailand.

So, #upcycling at it's best, reusing every morsel of this lovely ivory - and she's going to dye it to complement the lilac! And while it travelled the world, at this stage, it's become #deadstock as it is at least 5 years waiting to be made into something...

I'm cutting the pieces and handing them off to her to dye, then I'll get them back to begin the assembly...
