Caution with Ozmaterialgirls - I have had stuff go "missing" in the post, and they pretty much don't want to know.

I get a lot of stuff at reverse garbage (brissy) and local op shops, and just keep an eye out. My friends know and they give me stuff that they find. I like it that way; it forces me to be really creative, because I'm at the point where buying a pattern and choosing some fabric just isn't challenging enough anymore.
