The purpose of this thread is to have a central place where people can offer up DIY materials they might have as extra on hand. The idea here is that people out there may have some fabric or other materials that they would want to offer up in exchange for something of a different color or whatever. For instance, if you are making some pullouts, you might want them to be of varying colors but it may not make sense to order a yard in several colors from a fabric place just to make one little pullout of each color.
This can go beyond fabrics as well. Maybe you have some extra webbing because you had to buy a yard but only needed 10". The same could be said with zippers or zipper pulls or shock cord, etc.
If you don't have anything to trade, a monetary offer wouldn't break the bank. A yard of fairly expensive silnylon is $9-10 so a little piece wouldn't cost much and could easily be folded in an envelope and shipped for next to nothing.
So, here is what I have to offer up. I don't know exactly how much I have of each material at the moment but I definitely have plenty to share for making small pullouts or stuff sacks.
White 30D(?) Ripstop Nylon - A Walmart special so I don't know much about the fabric details but it works well and is easier to work with
DWR coated Ripstop Nylon - This isn't "waterproof" but it does a good job of shedding water
Greenish-Gray Silnylon (2nds) - This is 1.1oz/yd silnylon 2nd. The silicone coating is a little thick and has some streaks in some spots but for small projects it isn't that bad.
Coyote Silnylon - I think this is 1.1oz/yard but I can't remember for sure. The color was described as coyote but it seems a little darker. (No picture yet)
