Hi ladies. Nice blog! I am in search of burlap and heard that someone on this blog recently did a project that left her with quite a bit of surplus. Do any of you know who I could contact to find out about it? If so, could you email me at diggerdee@yahoo.com?
Thanks so much.
Hi – I’m the one who used the burlap but I ended up using the surplus to make totes (with Katie). I bought the original supply from here – http://www.onlinefabricstore.net/specialty-stores/burlap-store. Hope that helps! – Leslie
