source for sail cloth (free scraps)
you never know who you are going to run into these days....so a very nice couple stopped in for kites and disclosed they make huge sails for sail
boats....and that they have loads of scraps big enough to make kites out of....
they will sell sail cloth, but if you pay for shipping, they will send scraps for free!
send email to: ptsails@olympus.net
Port Townsend Sails
attention Nicki or Mikiya....
very nice people and very generous!

I've got some scraps lying around if someone wants to play with them. Some are little, some are decent sized.... I keep saying one day I'm going
to sew them all together and make a banner or something...
Remember though... for making a foil you'll need about 3.5 to 4 times the foil size in yards of fabric. That'd be a ton of sewing together
scraps, each making a potential weak point, and you'd have to align the fabric weave to keep the stretch the same.
Watch for a sale and buy a bunch....
What do you do with your foils?

Hey Taper, I think I might take you up on a couple scraps. I've been wanting myself to make a banner/wind sock to know the wind direction at all times
--easily. :P Winds here in Idaho are squirrelly.
