free fabric

my good friend in missouri called me up one night. (he works at jc penney) he told me that the home department had just brought 4 big boxes of "fabric" back to the be "thrown away."

he was able to smuggle 1 box out for me. 

turns out, they are discontinued curtains. ...you know how stores have sample curtains hanging up so that you can see what they really look like...

sadly, most of them are specialty fabrics. 

but, i was able to take a couple and make a skirt! and it's dang cute! when i can get a picture of it, i'll post it.
