Apparently, tailors, etc. could, by custom, keep any fabric leftovers that
were too small to really do much with - the pieces that were no larger than
a cabbage leaf.
Have to admit, I can't recall what documentation there may be for this
definition... :-(
Dunno 'bout anyone else, but I've seen some pretty big cabbage leaves over
the years meself. <g>

Why are they scraps called cabbage? That's new to me but then I don't know
all the terms for costuming or garb technology.
