and choose the types of fabric you’d like and the colours you want. Click on “order sample” to add your selections to your shopping cart. When you’ve finished selecting your samples, click on “shopping cart” (upper right-hand corner of the home page). Click on “checkout” when you’ve reviewed your choices and create an account (or sign in) so they’ll know where to send the samples!
I sent away for these and I received them in the mail!
