Its where you use number to buy fabric cheaper. IE, buying 20 metres of a fabric in one go is usually cheaper than buying 1m of a fabric to 20 different people

Hey Pinkbug!

So it's a bit hard to get fabric like Bamboo if you just want a metre or two for yourself (and expensive, even if you can get it), so what we hope to do, is say, I go and buy for example, $400 worth of bamboo so we get it cheap because we are buying bulk, then whoever wants some pays there share and I send it on, so 15 other people might want a metre or two each. Does that make sense?

AHH yes thats a good idea... so its for those who buy it off someone and they get them in the mail and make them am I on right track???

I wish I knew how to make them and plus don't own a sewing machine and pretty much hopeless at making things!!! bummer!!! would have loved to join in!!!


Thanks Phineas!
