Luxury MulticolouredFringe (per metre)

This is a lovely upholstery trim with a deep top edging featuring swags and rope type weave to the top. It has a fancy top decorative detail and solid stitching... feels and looks like really good quality. It is perfect to complete a project such as a footstool or similar and provide that luxurious finish. 

It is an unusual coloured trim - with navy and a bluey green thread with pinks and greys. Very difficult to describe - please see pictures. It would match quite a few colour schemes because of this colour blend. I've done my best with the images to show the shade correctly. If you require assistance with colour matching, please follow the instruction in my terms of sale below prior to purchase and I can help with this.

Please note that this is heavyweight trim!

This listing is for one metre - I had 5 metres in total of this design at the time of listing. Enough to trim a medium sized project. I will cut continuously off the length until there's no stock left. I've shown a hand for scale and a measuring tape so you can gauge the length.

It was bought as part of a huge bulk vintage haberdashery lot a couple of years back for my stock room. I have way too much for my purposes, so decided to share. I think this length is new and unused, it looks in decent condition and I cant see any evidence of previous sewing/stitching.

I have lots of trims and cords in my store, more to be listed in due course.

Width: 14cm (the online converter says this is 5.5 inches).

Imperfections:

On inspection, I couldn't see anything to note, it presents in decent condition when I checked it over. Not even sure if it has been previously used - it looks like an offcut/end of roll.

Colour:

• I've done my best to show the shade correctly, but your screen may be set up/display differently to mine. To help you determine if the shade/colour is suitable for your needs before purchase, I can include a photo of an international colour standard chart RAL K7 Classic against the item if this is useful for you. Let me know if so and I'll snap a picture and send it through to you.
• Alternatively, you can send a sample of fabric/wallpaper/paint etc. & I will photograph it next to the fabric. These services are offered as a kindness, without charge. Sadly as a tiny business I cannot afford to offer a "borrow my item & return it if it is not quite the right shade for my room" service.

Terms of Sale:

• All textiles/items are preloved, reclaimed, end of rolls etc. Handmade items such as curtain tiebacks or bespoke curtains are created from preloved materials and/or gathered recycled objects. Many are vintage so there may be small or superficial marks from previous use which might be noticed on unpacking, but not usually noticeable during use. Items are checked & significant imperfections are photographed/described.
• I measure as accurately as possible but figures are approximate. Width measurements are taken with material unpleated & laid flat. A metal tape is applied above hems/across the item. An online converter is used to change to inches, note not 100% accurate. 
• Auction items are not ended early unless absolutely necessary. 
• Fabric is cleaned using gentle methods - steam treatment/machine hand wash prior to listing, unless otherwise stated (except tassels/fringing/trims). Your item/s may benefit from more intensive treatment on receipt but beware of following old label info - textiles deteriorate over time, so you may cause rips/tears/holes by using out of date washing instructions (I have accidentally done this myself!).
• Where curtains have been remade & the label removed during the process, I will photograph it & reattach with a safety pin.
• Please ensure you have enough to finish your project, dress your door/window & if purchasing a tie back, please measure (using string perhaps) to ensure the cord length works for the gathered curtain fabric. There are guides online to help calculate. I do not accept returns because your item doesn’t fit or you've calculated wrongly and found on receipt that there's too much/not enough material.
• Tassels on curtain listings are for photography purposes only.

Shipping:

• Recycled packaging will be used.
• Items are dispatched within 2 days of auction end. If faster shipping is required, please message & I will do my best.
• Items will be sent by Royal Mail or courier depending on the size. My small town doesn’t have access to all carriers, so I can’t guarantee use of a specific service.
• I add a small amount extra to pay for purchase of tape, paper, label ink & fuel to drop off as well as packing/drop off time. 
• If you live in the UK but off the mainland, (including NI, Channel & Scottish Isles), please contact me before bidding/purchase for accurate shipping costs - these are often lot more than standard courier rates. I cannot afford to absorb this extra cost on your behalf. I will do my best to get a good quote & amend the listing for you if necessary. If you do not do this & expect me to send using quoted UK mainland prices, I may cancel the order.
• I will ship internationally but only using the Ebay Global Platform. 

Returns:

• Simply contact me within 14 days of receipt explaining why you want to return your item along with photos of the identified discrepancy. If I made an error, it will be a genuine mistake. I'm not perfect, & take full responsibility for anything accidentally missed or overlooked. 
• I may accept returns for other reasons, but only if customers are pleasant & honest about why they don't want the item.
• If agreed, items must be returned in the same condition with all packaging within 30 days. If my error, I’ll pay the postage. If a return is accepted for another reason the buyer pays return postage costs.
• Sadly, occasionally buyers request returns unfairly insinuating an "item is not as described" when it actually is & the information provided has not been read properly by the buyer. I offer free complimentary services for colour-matching, & spend hours measuring, photographing, creating diagrams, checking for flaws & writing detailed product descriptions. Returns cost small sellers a great deal in time & money. If you have not read the product description properly & request a return unfairly, it will be raised with customer services as an issue & a report submitted. Ebay is a kind place & we should all treat each other respectfully to keep it a safe place to buy & sell.

Environment:

• I am passionate about recycling and am aiming for zero waste. I have processes in place for fabric scraps to be recycled and reused in a number of ways. Offcuts are used to make tiebacks, tieback cords, tassels & distributed to craftspeople for using in powertexing, toymaking & similar creative activities. Threads/scraps are saved for use to create surface texture when felting, as tassel skirts or for textile beads. 
• Paper used is recycled. 
• I use second hand sewing machines - a retro Viking, a Singer (used to be my granny's) and a second-hand Brother Overlocker.
• If sundries are required such as cotton & header tapes I aim to purchase preloved, not brand new.
• I tried using eco-friendly paper parcel tape but it was counterproductive - there was a lot of waste - many rolls purchased from different vendors had multiple layers glued together and didn't secure heavy parcels well. I now buy business rejects, so parcels may arrive with parcel tape advertising a redundant firm. Inner/outer packaging is recycled plastic, cardboard etc. 
• I use machine hand wash for most material, using the least amount of water/energy and dry outside on the washing line whenever possible. I have goals in place to reduce the amount of washing chemicals used. I will continue to monitor, review and improve.

About Me:

• I have Ebayed since 2002. Redundancy in 2020 prompted a craft room clear out of preloved fabric & kick-started a small home business. I began collecting material from two local Derbyshire companies trying to primarily focus mainly on damaged items - restoring, repairing & remaking for reuse.
• 3 years on, textiles are harder to source locally so to enable the business to survive, I had to look further afield. I now buy from private individuals, organisations, businesses (large/small), charities, antique shops, church sales & recently even a closing theatre sale!
• Difficulties obtaining textiles encouraged creativity. Small single curtains are remade into bespoke items. Offcuts create unique curtain tiebacks, matching cords & textile beads. Experiments using lace, dyeing & embellishments began.
