    If you know anyone who makes prom/bridesmaids dresses as a sideline business they will likely be glad to share scraps with you.

    Also someone who reupholsters furniture or does custom upholstery would be a good source.

    I was able to get yardage at a great price when a furniture mfg in my area moved their business elsewhere.

    Good luck with your search!

    I acquired mine from Thrift stores, remnants from Jo Anns, Wal Mart , also drapery samples, plus word of mouth, friends who are seamstress, especially the ones who work on wedding stuff, they have a lot of left over stuff. As for the decorations, same sources. You will be surprise how much you can pick up at the Thrift, like formals, etc.

    Joanns sells scrap upholstery fabric in their clearance or red ticket section.

    Ask if any furniture stores throw out their fabric samples and if they would give them to you.
