==================
COLLECTIVE BARGAIN BUY
We have just recieved word from the awesome folks at Outdoor Wilderness Fabrics that they will allow us to purchase greatly reduced fabrics for this project. PGibson was very instrumental in getting this going (thanks PG,:cool:)
Here's the scoop:
1. Olive Drab Green, nylon taffetta 60+" wide. uncoated 70denier...@ $1.58 a yard!!
1 roll @ 125 yards. We have to buy whole rolls only, they will not cut the fabric for us. (which is fine) Plus shipping. 2,000 yards available.
2. No-SeeUm mosquito netting.60+ wide $2.14 a yard, whole roll price. 100 or 125 yards per roll. Plus Shipping.
Shipping looks to be around $30 a roll, or Paul @ AHE can pick it up if we have lots. thanks Paul
THIS FABRIC IS NOT FOR PERSONAL USE OR FOR PERSONAL PROJECTS OR GAIN.
This fabric buy is for the project "Hammocks for Haiti". If your interested in purchasing this fabric, but don't see a way you can burn up 125 yards:scared:, We are offering an excellent solution.
"Collective Bargain Buy", if you need some fabric, we can purchase a roll, send it here or to PGibson and cut it up accordingly.We can accept donations at Arrowhead Equipment, which we'll use to buy fabric and cover the cost of shipping. This is an opportunity to get some good fabric at a ridiculously low price and your help is needed. Paul at Arrowhead Equipment has donated his site AND ELBOW GREASE to allow us to "collective bargain buy" (or "cbb" if you will). We can purchase gift certificates at AHE, which will be used for the purchase of fabrics and offset shipping costs.:cool: If you want to donate, go to AHE and purchase a "gift" certificate.
OWF has been kind enough to give us a chance to get the fabrics needed at excellent prices.
Along with the great prices, OWF has donated a roll for our cause:thumbup::thumbup1:
How cool is that.!!! Thank you OWF.
Again, this fabric buy is for the Haiti project and is not for personal use or gain. This is on the Honor System.;)
If your interested in buying a whole roll, either by donation or for your own home based group to sew with, contact me for purchase info, via pm here at the forum. We can ship directly to you!
Paul at AHE has rallied the ladies at church, who are excited about sewing up some hammocks. If you would like to donate fabric, we have people who can sew. Let us know, we can gather the neccessary funds and folks building hammocks. Harpo63 has some kids at the School, so we can find folks who have the skills, but we need fabric.
And a big Thank You to the Mods here at Hammock Forums. You guys rock:shades:
this is not a group buy, and in no way to be confused as a group buy, this is a CBB, collective bargain buy!
