To all you sewing lot...

Any bag-makers out there interested in waxed cotton fabric? We have some rolls in SE London/Deptford SE8, previously used for zip-up cases. I'd love to use but the wax will contaminate surfaces and machines which sew lightweights/waterproof fabrics.

Dark olive and Navy blue, £5 pm

That's a nice blue. I'd have some if I was nearby.

No worries to post if you don’t mind me folding, can’t be too expensive

I'd go for 2m worth, will pm you

What weight is it? Still around?
If it wasn't for Brexit I might go for a roll, and then maybe make some Jackets.
But all shipping is so expensive and customs are idiots, so I don't think it's worth it. But would love to help you shift it and put to good use.

would take some off your hands if this is still going? am local so could collect

Did anyone hear from @Chopsicle regarding this? I need to make a frame bag in the near future and don't think I've got enough material left in my supplies

Sorry!! Been on my list for too long, absolutely, love to get this out to folks to use

The hesitation had been because I need to put down plastic before rolling out and cutting, to avoid getting the oily/wax coating onto surfaces in the studio.

…but @moocher you picked ripples in the cosmos. I’m in studio this afternoon cutting new timber shelving & sanding, so perfect to get the dust sheet out for this. Can sort today for you & anyone else.

Cool. I'll have 4m of the blue please

sweet! could I grab 3m of each please?

ooh, possibly interested - do you know (roughly) how heavy it is? looking for some fairly heavy for bagmaking (like 18oz?) (in se4 so can collect)

EDIT: not sure it's what I'm after for this thing, but I'll def take 2m of the olive anyway & use for something else if you're cutting

Anyone got a lead for some rubber/pvc backed black canvas? Or, anything good for sewing up into a frame bag?

I've bought this material before, but they dont have black

I guess Dralon wouldn’t be close enough?

Maybe, I don't know much about it to be honest. The pcv backed stuff above was nice because it had a decent thickness. I've got loads of black waxed canvas but it's relatively thin.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask so apologies if not! I'm tired of getting a massive bruise on my hip from lugging my bass drum pedal around with it's shitty shoulder strap. I was thinking about bodging some backpack straps on to it. The case looks like this, it has a solid plastic back to it. Reckon I can just drill a couple of holes in it to attach some straps? Anything else to consider?
