Re: [h-cost] a costumer's term question
Cabbage is old term used in Elizabethan era. Modern is scrap. -Original Message- 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.

Re: [h-cost] a costumer's term question
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 YiS, Brenna / Genovefre / Rose / Europa -Original Message- Why are they scraps called cabbage?

I'd call them 'precious' as in found trimming stock. They might actually be called 'skiving' as are small bits of leather.
