[seller] Fabrics and costume pieces and mannequins- cheap!

By neimhaille. 20/08/10, 07:33 am

I am clearing my stash of fabrics and costumes and things I do not need so thought I'd offer them here first. I live in Auckland so pick ups are fine for those up here and postage to elsewhere will be strictly as per NZ post and you have the option of the packaging (I can do budget and I can do just pick up from the post office ;))
As per the rules my trademe feedback:

And well most of you know where to find me on the last day of every Armageddon ;)

New stuff added Monday 23rd August:

$5 Close to 6m long this one but that includes the darker blue pallu as seen.

Soft pleather. Very soft, cannot be used where the fabric is over stretched, so best to flatline with another babric or even fuse carefully.
Not sure how much is left but $5/m
It died, just thrown out. Sigh it was so nice must have been some chemical reaction.

Not as matte as it looks! Almost glossy 4way PVC. You will not find better quality in NZ- I got this from Geoff's on Lincoln road last year sad

1.5m long by 1.15wide so enough to make pants or a sleeveless bodysuit etc.
$5 the lot.

Black satin Victorian bodice and skirt:

$50. Skirt has been hemmed and has a drawstring waist. Bodice zips up the back with an open end zip. Shoulder straps are elastic. All flatlined in cotton so is nice and cool and can be adjusted somewhat.

$10. Design based on the brown coat Eowyn wears in The Two Towers so it could be used as a pattern for that ;) otherwise I'm going to be making a new jacket from it and beware all ye who go to DAE next year ;)

$10 for the fabric. I am tempted to keep the doggies at the front but the outfit was made from a reclained suit. The velvet is glorious and I wish i knew then what I know now as far as how hard it is to find velvet of this quality ;) I'd have saved it...

$5 Blue mystery boucle fabric. Bishop sleeves, darted bodice pleated non shaped skirt. Worn to a Singalonga Sound of Music night. So it was as a sort of loli-ish nun's outfit.

All shoes are approx 7-7.5 multiple unless otherwise stated.

~~All $5 a Pair:~~

Cotton open cell blanket. I think a double as opposed to queen sized. Dyes really nicely and can be layered for nice textural effects for coats or cloaks etc.
$5
Is now cleaning cloths ;) Most excellent for the workroom

Spoiler:

I'll be adding more (after a reply or 7 days so as to not break the rules) as I have about 1.5m3 of stuff that I would like to shift ;) Prices are so that they clear out quickly not an indication of quality. I have projects I need the space for.

I'm interested in a flat half mannequin Very Happy

By Mandie_Chan. 20/08/10, 07:51 am

hey is the Sheer pink saree with self stripe and printed flower pattern $5pm or for all of it?
Same for the green velveteen $15pm or for all of it? I'm interested in both ^^

**Guest** Guest

Curses, I'm trying to save money! But I'm seriously eyeing those saris.

By **Tamoo**. 20/08/10, 09:46 am

Interested in a flat half mannequin as well C:

whereabouts do you live in auckland?

By Number-IX. 20/08/10, 10:07 am

Can i please have the half torso? 8DDD
It's normal/life size right? [Well minus the extreme waist/boobs] Somehow when i saw it i thought it was like a minature manequin.. XD but yeah. Just making sure :~

By Thornback. 20/08/10, 10:28 am

I'm eyeing up that blue sari....curse my lack of funds...

By neimhaille. 20/08/10, 11:08 am

Those prices are per item for them all :)

Right: Tails, half mannequin is yours :) Do you have someone who can pick it up for you? Or if you are coming to AuckGeddon i can keep it aside until then :)

Mandie Chan: Price per item, so that would be $20 for the saree and velveteen plus shipping :) Not sure how much but I think it will all fit in one of the larger flat plastic bags at the post office :)

u_ne_korn: I think I have a few more about the place and as above they are only $5 a piece not per metre :)

Tammy: Other flat mannequin is yours :) I live Centre-West and I can really easily get to say New Lynn for an easy pick up point :) Send me a PM about when and where to meet :)

Number -IX: Half torso is yours :) Yep she's "normal" sized in terms of height and at least neck circumference ;) The material is hollow plastic like a doll so it really is extremely light and easily cut to allow for arms and a better stand (there is a small hole at the bottom but it may need to be larger to get a decent stand sorted).

Thornback: the blue saree hasn't had any claims so feel free to pencil it in. I think it'll be a couple of dollars to post as it will probably fit into an A4 sized envelope.

Now to update the list with claims :)

By Mandie_Chan. 20/08/10, 11:09 am

wow... $20 for all that? I shall take it then!
Depending on posting costs I may wait until auckgeddon to pick it up if that's ok?

By Tails. 20/08/10, 11:24 am

Awesome thank you! Could you hold it for me til Auckgeddon?

By neimhaille. 20/08/10, 01:32 pm

I can hold until AuckGeddon for you both yep :) I'll pop them in a couple of labeled baggies :)

By sakura_petals. 21/08/10, 01:35 am

Very tempted with the silver spandex but I'm not back in the country until mid september... Do you mind holding it for a few days until I work out if it's what I need?

By neimhaille. 21/08/10, 05:20 am

I can put it aside for sure :)

By Number-IX. 23/08/10, 09:29 am

Sweeeeet

So that's just $5? So cheaaaap tyy <33
I live in West Auckland, so i could probably meet you at Henderson or something maybe this weekend to pick it up? :)

By neimhaille. 23/08/10, 03:39 pm

Yep :) This is all surplus and taking up room and I am posting here first as I know budgets are particularly tight for most of us here ;)

I'll PM about when I'll be free :)

Oh yeah and have just updated with heaps more stuff ;)

By Tails. 23/08/10, 03:44 pm

Thanks! Could you PM me your bank details so I can pay you for it sooner rather than later?

By **seraphik**. 24/08/10, 03:51 am

could i grab these boots: https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/glittersweet/rl/sm_P1080247.jpg / https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/glittersweet/rl/sm_P1080244.jpg / https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/glittersweet/rl/sm_P1080243.jpg ? 8DDD

By Winds-Of-Despair. 24/08/10, 05:10 am

Can I please have the dark blue saree with the pattern?

By neimhaille. 24/08/10, 07:25 am

Yep to all :)

Lucy I think all the boots will fit in one box for posting- they are all fairly light even for boots unless you have other means of getting them :) PM me with details :)

Winds-of-Despair: Yep :) I can post it easily if that'll be easy, PM me for postage and payment details :) I think it will fit in a mid sized envelope.

Sure, but I am okay waiting until Armageddon :) I have a box all the items to be picked up have gone into and have notes stuck on them :)

By sakura_petals. 30/08/10, 12:31 am

After thinking things through I have decided that I don't actually need the silver stretch material - thanks for holding it for me while I took ages to think about it.

By **JVCA**. 07/09/10, 06:39 pm

https://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v609/glittersweet/rl/?action=view&current=rlpadmeboots3.jpg

These boots - I vary between a size 7 and 8, so I'm not sure if these will fit me or not - would you be able to measure the length of the soles for me please? Size uncertainty aside, they're almost exactly what I'm looking for. Very Happy

By RenaStar. 08/09/10, 04:24 am

Hey i'm really keen on the black victorian bodice and one of the victorian skirts, just not sure which one would look best with the bodice Very Happy

By fleyer. 09/09/10, 01:12 pm

Is there still a flat half mannequin left?

By neimhaille. 09/09/10, 04:13 pm

JVCA: I'll do so tomorrow, sorry I didn't see this sooner :)

Rena: Either or :) The bodice skims at the waist on me (about 1.5cm below the waist I suppose) and then dips further in front and back. So the skirts will both be fine :) The red skirt has not had the waist finished so you can pleat it to what ever shape (I just put pleats right at the back but they can be even all around or from the side to the back) The white skirt has had a waistband and hook put in but it is easy to undo and the pleats at the back are pretty deep so again you can move them around if you like.
The white skirt is straighter than the red skirt so the hem is not as full.

fleyer: yep :) One of the half mannequins is available :) I also have the two clear vinyl ones (which can be shaped though they buckle a bit with a heat gun). They are covered in resin bits so I'll see how well they clean up.

And I may have a sewing machine. Well I do. It's a Cascade, I bought it for $200 from the Warehouse several years ago but it has had little use due to the fact that it smokes at you from somewhere inside. I think it's just an excess of oil but it could be parts rubbing together too much. Does nice stitches though.
I just fixed my lovely Janome so I'll have a look inside and see if I can figure out if it is okay or not. If not it's going to be donated to get fixed and used in a developing country somewhere.

By fleyer. 10/09/10, 08:53 am

Sweet, can I take it then? ^^
