cash or store credit for locating fabric

[candy_cain]

here's the deal! I'm offering $30 cash or $60.00 etsy store credit to anyone that can track down more of this fabric for me. It's light grey/taupe w/ alternating black stripes. The stripes are about 3/8"- 1/2" wide and the fabric is silk dupioni. Feel free to repost this. I'm running low and would love another 10 yards or so, but will take less. I'

yes, please do. I'm going to caontact volutelady and see if she has any sources

[candy_cain]

ok, I contacted her, I'm crossing my fingers. All of her posts are in French. Does she speak English as well? I also emailed hyena fabrics in hopes they can find some or know someone who can custom print fabric.

I think she does speak English, but if she doesn't, I can help you with that. ;)

heh. where did you find it in the first place? I've been looking for a black/white(ish) silk for years now!

[candy_cain]

some random seller on ebay had a bolt and I bought the whole thing, but they are out and can't get anymore :/

Volutelady's fabric is GORGEOUS, though it's a 1-inch black/silver stripe.

What about contacting these folks for a custom weave? http://www.alibaba.com/product/in104070392-103651580-0/silk_dupioni_silk_54_width_Steel_Grey_Silver_colour_stripes.html

1" wide dark silver/white taffeta

There's also this, which is a much narrower stripe.

Couldn't find anything in a 1/2". Volutelady's is a 1" black/silver, similar to the first one.

wish they had a stripe width in between those two. one's way too wide and the other is too narrow. thanks for tryin' though ^_^

sorry I'm no help. Like I said, that's been my holy grail fabric for years now.

I might have to pick up some of that 1" wide, though. Would make a hot fitted jacket. Mmmm... back chevrons...
