We’ve spent the last couple weeks uploading clearance items and we now have over 100 fabrics and materials on clearance. Prices range anywhere from 20% to 75% off retail.
If you aren’t familiar with how our clearance items works – these are one-of-a-kind offers that come from end of roll, customer returns, or other fabrics with minor blemishes or issues. Any issues are documented on the product listing page.
Once an item has sold it is gone forever. Unlike sale items, where we have marked down the price of a specific material and we have hundreds of yards of that material in stock, with a clearance item there is only 1 of them and it will be a specific quantity.
You can’t change the quantity of a clearance item when checking out. if it says “3” yards, then you have to purchase that fabric in the 3 yard section as it exists.
Often we will have more than 1 clearance item available and you can purchase as many as you desire, however, keep in mind that “2” yards of black snakeskin clearance fabric and “3” yards of black snakeskin fabric will come as 2 separate items.
We also have grab bags for sale in both vinyl and latex sheeting. These are excellent values if you are looking to practice with the materials, can use scrap pieces, make hackey sacks, doll clothing, etc.
Most of the grab bags will consist of fabric that is less than 1 yard long, or it may be pieces that are a yard or more but have been damages in some way that prevents us from selling it as a clearance item. There is approximately 7 yards of material in a grab bag and if you do the math – that’s $2.00 per yard for materials that normally cost up to $12.99 per yard!
Summer time is a great moment to stock up on materials that you’ll need for Fall and Halloween. Plus, with the crazy times that we live in, working on projects is a safe way to spend some extra time and continue to practice social distancing.

We are shipping on schedule and have not experienced any delays with our business due to Covid-19. The one caveat we will mention is that we continue to experience delays by USPS. If your project has a deadline and you don’t want to pay for overnight or 2-day shipping which have guaranteed delivery dates, then we highly recommend that you use FedEx Ground.
USPS Priority historically has been faster than FedEx Ground with delivery to most locations in the US in 2-3 days, however, it is now common for delivery dates for Priority shipments to reach 5-7 days and we’ve had USPS Parcel Post shipments that have taken 2-3 weeks to be delivered.

The mention of plastic coated stretchy vinyl caught my eye, especially at clearance pricing. That’s usually a pricier material to experiment with otherwise.
The pricing comparison up to $12.99 per yard really puts the grab bag value into perspective. Definitely worth it for anyone learning to work with latex or vinyl.
I like the clarification that clearance items are one-of-a-kind and can’t have quantities adjusted at checkout, that saves confusion before ordering. The 20% to 75% discount range is pretty tempting for unique pieces.
Glad to hear operations are still running on schedule despite everything, aside from USPS delays. That consistency makes planning projects a bit easier.
I didn’t realize clearance stock could include customer returns alongside end-of-roll pieces. That actually explains the variety you sometimes see in those listings.
Those grab bags sound like a great deal at roughly $2 per yard, especially for practice projects or small crafts like doll clothes. I didn’t realize they could include damaged longer pieces too.
I like that you suggest uses like hackey sacks and practice pieces for the grab bags. It makes the less-than-perfect materials feel a lot more usable rather than waste.
The explanation about end-of-roll and minor blemishes helps set expectations, especially since issues are documented on each listing. That transparency makes it easier to take a chance on discounted materials.
Stocking up now for fall and Halloween is a smart suggestion, especially with high stretch vinyls and metallics. These are exactly the kinds of materials that sell out closer to the season.
Good to know that if I buy 2 yards and 3 yards of the same snakeskin clearance fabric, they’ll come as separate cuts. That detail matters for larger projects needing continuous material.
The note about only having one of each clearance item really adds urgency compared to regular sale items. I can see how things could disappear quickly once people start browsing.
It’s helpful that each clearance item has its exact yardage fixed, even if it’s a little restrictive. At least you know exactly what you’re getting without surprises.
I appreciate the reminder that clearance items are different from sale items with bulk stock. It explains why you can’t reorder something you liked later.
Appreciate the shipping update, especially the honesty about USPS delays stretching to 5–7 days or even weeks. Switching to FedEx Ground for deadline projects makes a lot of sense right now.
The variety of pastel polyvinyl and metallic vinyl options sounds fun, especially for more colorful builds. Clearance is a good excuse to try something outside my usual palette.
The grab bags being around 7 yards total makes them more useful than I expected, not just scraps. That’s enough material to experiment with multiple small builds.
