visit at least one fabric store! So, in San Francisco or in the LA area,
if you could visit one fabric store where you could be assured of a
fantastic bargain on silk, where would it be?
For silk, I'm thinking taffetas,

Use watered down latex paint. It looks like dirt, but the material isn't
damaged. If you want wear on seams or hems, try sand paper (hold wrapped
over a block of wood).For a spot where the fabric is worn, try gingerly

The scary fabric store on Lundy and Berryessa is also known as Fabrics R
Us.

Britex also has a fabulous remnant section. My husband was looking for a
bottle green wool for a Dickens coat. We went to Britex and found the

Oh, and I forgot to mention, good scenic paint, like Rosco Super Saturated,
is intended to be used as a fabric dye when cut with water. Good brilliant
colors, too. And a black that is really BLACK.
