White Tulle or Organza Fabric (Redwood City)
I know this is a longshot, but I’m looking for a few yards of white (or ivory) tulle (or organza) fabric to use to protect some monarch eggs and caterpillars that are starting to emerge on my milkweed plants. With Joanne‘s gone, it’s hard to find fabric quickly. It can be ordered at Michael’s, but I’m hoping someone has some they no longer need. Thanks!

Silk sari and decorative fabrics (1075 Valencia Avenue)
Silk Sari (Saree) and shiny decorative fabrics. Shiny red and green silk Saree/sari and multicolored fabrics for saris or other decorative outfits with intricate patterns and sequins. I didn’t measure the fabric pieces or the Saree, but the Saree is about 30 feet long. The Saree has red, green, white, gold and purple colors with a variety of patterns. Other fabric pieces include: Sheer purplish fabric with white shiny trim. Long, turquoise blue scarf with small white sequins. Red, white, and gold shiny silk fabric with thin red-white stripes and rectangular patterns. Shiny purple and gold fabric.Two pieces of maroon and shiny gold fabric with small patterns. Each of these are too small to make an adult Saree, but could be used to make a smaller piece of clothing. All the fabrics are all in excellent to like-new condition. The Saree material and the edges of some other fabrics need to be serged or folded over and stitched. I have small pieces of fabrics in new condition but they are not shiny and decorative as these are. ( I cannot include the photos of all the fabrics in a single post. Near building 1075 Valencia Avenue in Sunnyvale, off South Mary Avenue and behind the Crosswalk Church. Please include your available pick up time in your response and I will send you directions.

Long gold tunic & maroon vest (1075 Valencia Avenue)
Matching maroon vest (Nehru-Modi jacket) and mustard gold long tunic (Kurta). The trim on the vest is the same fabric as the tunic. They are both size 44, XXL. They are new or like-new. The vest still has the tag on it. These were included in several bags of clothing and material for these types of outfits, including large pieces of fabric to make such outfits and saris. I also have temple pants the same color as the tunic, not shown. They balloon out at the legs. I’ll find them and photograph them, as well. They are both clean and in very good condition. The vest still has the tag on it. Results of Internet search (Google Lens): The selected region shows two pieces of traditional South Asian fabric laid out flat on a white bench, consisting of a solid mustard-gold garment piece on the left and a maroon garment piece featuring an intricate, all-over golden floral pattern on the right. These textiles are typical components used to make a custom men's ethnic outfit.Style Assessment Based on the shape, structure, and traditional pairing of these fabrics, this set is intended to be tailored into a specific combination: The Maroon Patterned Fabric: This structured panel is cut in the shape of a Nehru jacket (also known as a Modi jacket or Bandi). It is designed to be worn as an outer sleeveless vest over a longer tunic. The Mustard-Gold Fabric: This solid-colored textile serves as the coordinating Kurta (the long tunic) and potentially the matching Pyjama or Churidar (trousers) to be worn underneath the vest. Common Ways to Wear This EnsembleWhen stitched, this combination creates a classic, sophisticated look for formal events, weddings, and festive celebrations. You can style it in a few distinct ways:Traditional Festive Look: Pair the completed mustard kurta-pyjama with the buttoned-up maroon jacket. Finish the look with traditional Mojari or Jutti shoes in leather or matching maroon velvet. Monochromatic Base Option: Tailor the mustard fabric into a full kurta set, but keep an alternative cream or off-white silk pajama on hand. Wearing an off-white bottom can break up the solid color and make the maroon pattern pop even more. Contrasting Pocket Square: If the Nehru jacket includes a breast pocket, add a small pocket square made from a scrap of the mustard fabric to tie the entire outfit together visually.
